In a press release, Glendale Police said they were "not able to determine that probable cause existed for the filing of charges."
"In this case, it should be noted that, on the night in question, the GPD did not receive any calls for service at the nightclub regarding a weapon of any type," the department said. "Subsequently, no disturbances were reported, and no citizens or patrons of the club came forward to make a complaint.
