We reported earlier today that charges against Chad Gibson and George Armstrong stemming from the June 28, 2009 raid on the Rainbow Lounge have been dropped. I just received an official statement from Jason Lamers, a city of Fort Worth spokesman:
“The Class C misdemeanor charges from the Rainbow Lounge against George Armstrong, Dylan Brown, Chad Gibson and Jose Macias were dismissed yesterday by the city. As it is our official policy not to discuss municipal court prosecutions or litigation, the city will have no further comment.”
According to the statement, the charges that have been dismissed were public intoxication charges against Jose A. Macias, Dylan T. Brown, George J. Armstrong and Chad Gibson. A charge of assault by contact against Gibson was also dropped.

Translated: We are dropping the charges against these individuals so that the next time we try something like this, it’ll make it easier for us to lie and get away with it.
