The prosecution will no longer prosecute a defendant charged with a prison breach.
Stephen Summers was living at Hope Village halfway house at the time of the alleged incident. According to an affidavit, a staff member found an unknown substance inside a sandwich bag in Summers’ pocket on April 23, 2014. He was also charged with bail violation.
After refusing to give the staff member the item in his pocket, Summers allegedly walked out of the halfway house without permission and did not return.
He was charged on April 18, 2020. Both cases were dismissed.
