Remember The Alamo: second charge dropped against actor Jason Patric in Texas
AUSTIN, Texas (AP) — A second charge against actor Jason Patric has been dropped following his arrest in March.
Travis County Attorney David Escamilla said his office decided not to pursue the resisting arrest charge after reviewing evidence and determining that Patric’s actions didn’t constitute resisting arrest under Texas law.
“Merely retracting your arm or some other similar unco-operative action won’t suffice to support a conviction,” Escamilla told the Austin American-Statesman.
The city attorney’s office also dropped a public intoxication charge against Patric last week from the same arrest.
“Mr. Patric is extremely pleased and feels vindicated,” Patric’s publicist Michelle Bega said Monday. “He is now consulting with legal counsel to consider his next step regarding his arrest, imprisonment and treatment at the hands of the Austin Police Department.”
“I am really looking forward to going back to Austin and taking care of business,” Patric, 37, said in a statement that Bega released.
Patric stars as Texas hero James Bowie in The Alamo. His other films include The Lost Boys, Sleepers and Speed 2: Cruise Control.

that's just such an awesomely ominous quote from a guy who has been in waaaay better movies than any of those mentioned above.

How on earth can a frivolous thread about a b-list celebrity go so far over my head?
