Authorities have dropped all charges against an Arizona State University student who was arrested last year on trespassing charges after he set up a table to distribute copies of the Constitution without permission.
Attorneys representing Tim Tizon, a senior at the time of the incident last spring, announced this week that state prosecutors had agreed to drop all charges. That came in response to an appeal Mr. Tizon filed in January via the Liberty Justice Center, a Chicago-based nonprofit law firm.
An ASU spokesperson confirmed in an email that the state had dropped the trespassing charges but stressed that Mr. Tizon had occupied a “reservable spot” without permission. “Mr. Tizon was given numerous opportunities to relocate, but he refused,” Mr. Gonzalez said. “He was then … cited by university police, as authorized under Arizona law.”
