Editor’s Note: This story has been updated to include the latest information regarding the dismissal of the assault charge.

The assault charge against Fox 7 photographer has been dismissed by the detective in charge of the case, according to his attorney.

Carlos A. Giraldo Sanchez had been charged with assaulting a Texas state trooper during a “Free Palestine” protest at the University of Texas at Austin on Wednesday, April 24.

In an affidavit filed by the Texas Department of Public Safety (DPS), Sanchez was accused of lunging toward a trooper and striking him with a large camera on the lower head and neck area where he was not protected by riot gear.

The incident occurred while the trooper was assisting University of Texas Police Department (UTPD) officers with crowd control during the protest, which had grown to over 100 participants who were becoming confrontational and uncooperative with law enforcement commands to disperse, according to court documents.

However, attorney Gerry Morris stated that the facts did not support a felony charge. While it is possible that a lesser misdemeanor charge could be filed, the detective has not yet made a decision on additional charges. Sanchez has since returned to work at Fox 7.

Sanchez was initially arrested at the scene by UTPD on criminal trespass charges, along with 56 other individuals. The Travis County Attorney’s Office later rejected all 57 criminal trespass charges due to lack of sufficient probable cause.
