PORTLAND, Ore. (AP) — A judge in southwestern Washington has dismissed charges against a Portland man who drove through a crowd opposing a right-wing group’s rally in downtown Vancouver.

33-year-old Billy Wilson was charged with reckless driving and in 2018, five months after witnesses said he nearly hit counter-protesters gathered in the street after a Patriot Prayer demonstration.

The incident invoked comparisons to a month before when a woman was killed and 19 others were injured in Charlottesville, Virginia, by a man driving his car through a crowd protesting a white nationalist rally.

Vancouver police said officers didn’t have enough evidence of a crime to arrest him. The Clark County Prosecuting Attorney’s Office reviewed the case and pursued charges.
