(August 29, 2008)—A columnist for the Fort Worth Star-Telegram who left his 11-year-old son in a restaurant parking lot after an argument won’t be charged, a prosecutor said Friday.
Betty Arvin of the Tarrant County District Attorney's Office says prosecutors didn't feel the case reached the level to file charges.
Dave Lieber, 51, surrendered to authorities earlier this week and was later freed after posting $4,000 bond.
Lieber declined to comment Friday, and his attorney was not immediately available.
His arrest stemmed from an Aug. 13 incident in which Lieber told his son to walk home from a Watauga fast-food restaurant four blocks from their home.
Lieber soon returned for him, but a customer who witnessed the dispute had called 911.
Police in the Fort Worth suburb said that his son was trying to get into the car as Lieber drove away.
