KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Charges have been dropped against a man who, according to his attorney, was wrongfully arrested by the Wyandotte County Sheriff’s Office Monday.
Earvin Lee Nunnally was booked into the Wyandotte County Jail Monday afternoon.
According to the Wyandotte County Sheriff’s Office, Nunnally’s bond was set for $20,000 with felony charges for distributing a depressant.
Nunnally’s attorney, Matthey Terry, says the wrongful charge was for fentanyl distribution.
The Wyandotte County District Attorney’s Office says charges against Nunnally have been dropped and he is able to file for expungement immediately.
“I talked to the prosecutor’s office and explained to them that this was obviously a case of mistaken identity, and I’m very appreciative that they took that information into account, looked into it and dismissed this matter,” Terry said.
Terry also said he is “glad we got to the right result in this matter,” and knows the Wyandotte County district attorney is prioritizing the “interests of justice.”
