The announcement means those 17 officers can return to patrolling the streets of Austin. The cases dropped involved the officers' actions during the 2020 protests.
Chance Bretches, Jeffrey Teng and Kyle Felton are each facing felony charges stemming from separate incidents during the 2020 racial justice protests in Austin.
Austin Police Department (APD) Officer Jeffrey Teng who was indicted last year following May 2020 racial justice protests received another indictment, according to court documents.
Indictments released Tuesday accuse 19 officers of using deadly weapons to injure 11 demonstrators during protests against racial injustice and police violence two years ago.
