Charges dropped for man arrested for disorderly conduct at Reading Pride flag-raising

READING, Pa. - The Berks County district attorney has dismissed the arrest of a man charged with disrupting a Pride flag-raising at City Hall.

Reading Police Chief Richard Tornielli said Atkins was being disruptive to the event and being disorderly. He said Atkins was not taken into custody because of what he was saying.

"Our officers gave him warnings to cease that behavior as it was disrupting the event that was taking place," said Tornielli.

On Wednesday, the Berks County District Attorney's Office said after reviewing videos of the incident, the charges of disorderly conduct against Atkins have been withdrawn.

"After review of the video of the incident, including body-worn cameras, and a review of the case law, we did not believe we could prove a criminal case of disorderly conduct," the Berks County District Attorney's Office said in a statement.

They were trying to charge him with disorderly conduct. The charges were dropped because he was not being disorderly. [/quote]
