NEW YORK (TheWrap.com) – "The Amazing Spider-Man" villain Rhys Ifans will not be charged in an incident at San Diego's Comic-Con in which he was accused of shoving a female guard, authorities tell TheWrap.
"After reviewing differing witness accounts, our prosecutors concluded there was not sufficient evidence to prove the case beyond a reasonable doubt," Gina Coburn, a spokeswoman for the San Diego Office of the City Attorney, told TheWrap.
Ifans was cited and released on suspicion of misdemeanor battery after he was accused of shoving the guard while entering the July 22 panel for "The Amazing Spider-Man."
Police said Ifans smelled of alcohol and became irate when a member of his entourage was unable to enter the hall for lack of proper credentialing. They said he shoved the guard in order to pass through, and was allowed to participate in the panel, but that the guard subsequently made a citizen's arrest.
A spokesman for Sony said at the time that Ifans "deeply regrets the incident."
In the new film, due next summer, Ifans plays the villainous Lizard, a scientist who takes on reptilian features after looking for a way to grow back his missing arm.
SANTA MONICA, Calif. – Court records show a judge has granted Charlie Sheen's request to dismiss a lawsuit filed against a woman who locked herself in the bathroom of an upscale New York hotel room that the actor left in tatters.
Sheen claimed Capri Anderson locked herself in the bathroom of the Plaza Hotel because she had taken one of his watches valued at $165,000. His lawsuit sought reimbursement.
Anderson told police the actor put his hands around her throat during the raucous evening in late October, but she managed to slip away.
Sheen sued Anderson for attempted extortion in November after she recounted her version of events on "Good Morning America."
Court records show Sheen's attorney were granted a dismissal of the case without prejudice on Friday, which means the actor could re-file.
