The Pennington County State’s Attorney’s Office in South Dakota has dropped all remaining charges against NDN Collective Founder and CEO Nick Tilsen following a mistrial earlier this year, according to reporting by Native Sun News Today. 

Tilsen’s trial ended Jan. 29 when a 12-person jury deliberated for six hours without reaching a unanimous verdict, according to Native Sun News Today. He had faced charges including aggravated assault on a law enforcement officer, obstructing law enforcement and simple assault on a law enforcement officer. Prosecutors will not seek a retrial and the case is closed, according to Native Sun News Today.
