A Harris County criminal court judge dismissed the case against Dynamo defender Warren Creavalle, who was accused of interfering with a public servant.

"The case was dismissed by the state, so we prevailed," Creavalle's attorney Paul Doyle said outside the courtroom.

Wearing gray slacks, blue dress shirt and black tie, Creavalle walked out of the courthouse and was immediately met by a process server after the 9 a.m. hearing in Judge Mike Fields' courtroom.

Doyle stepped up and was handed the papers serving Creavalle with the civil suit police officer Ramon Perez has filed against his client and the Dynamo, Tyler Deric, Will Bruin and Alex Dixon.

On Feb. 4, Deric was arrested and accused of assaulting a public servant after an altercation with Perez at a Heights bar. Creavalle was arrested as Deric was being subdued by Perez, who was working an HPD-approved extra job at the Roosevelt Lounge.

Doyle has insisted Creavalle was merely taping what he deemed as Perez's assault on Deric when he was arrested.

Doyle reiterated his claim that Perez's civil case is essentially an extortion attempt. Perez's attorney, Mark Sandoval has declined to comment on the civil case or Doyle's accusation.
