(KNZA)--The criminal case against an area police chief has been dismissed.
The case against current Valley Falls Police Chief Bronson Campbell was dismissed Monday by the Dickinson County Attorney’s Office without prejudice, which means it could be re-filed.
Prosecutor Andrea Purvis told the Topeka Capital Journal that she decided not to proceed after receiving new evidence over the weekend.
Campbell pleaded not guilty last August to a misdemeanor charge of disseminating criminal history information, and a two-day jury trial in the case had been set for this week.
The alleged crime took place while Campbell was serving as police chief of the Dickinson County community of Enterprise. He held that position from April 2013 until May 2014 when his reappointment was denied.
