MIAMI GARDENS, Fla. (AP) — Ramón Jesurún had charges of battering a security guard at the Copa America final dropped on Monday, more than a month after the Colombian soccer federation president and his son were arrested at the match where hundreds of fans forced their way into Hard Rock Stadium. Michael Band, an attorney for the 71-year-old Jesurún, said prosecutors decided to drop the felony battery charges after carefully considering the evidence. Charges remain against Jesurún’s son, Ramon Jesurún Jr., who is scheduled to go on trial in November. “I appreciate the state attorney’s review of this matter,” said Band, who represents both men. “Hopefully we can reach an agreement in terms of resolution” for the younger Jesurún as well, he added. Jesurún and his son both faced three counts of felony battery on an official after being accused of fighting stadium security guards after Argentina defeated Colombia in the Copa final on July 14.
