Federal prosecutors chose not to press charges against four men who were arrested at a Washington, D.C. apartment where a stolen dog was found.
The Washington, D.C. Police Department raided an apartment on April 14 in Northwest Washington, and found Pablo, who had been taken from his owners at gunpoint, along with firearms and drugs, according to the Washington Post.
In addition to the four men who were arrested, three juveniles were also taken into custody by police as a result of the Thursday night raid.
The four men were released on April 15, but it’s unclear if the three juveniles are still in custody.
Just hours after the Metropolitan Police Department announced that the individuals were arrested, the U.S. Attorney’s Office said that the four adults would not be charged, and were released, according to Fox 5.
“The U.S. Attorney’s Office did not move forward Friday with charges against the four adults who were arrested. The investigation is continuing.and we have no further comment at this time,” a spokesperson told Fox News Digital.
D.C. Assistant Police Chief Morgan Kane said that they intend for the charges to be reinstated after further investigation, according to the Washington Post.
“Our intention is to investigate further and have these charges reinstated…We’re not closing it and moving on,” Kane said.
