Omaha Mayor Jean Stothert’s chief of staff, Marty Bilek, won’t be charged with a crime after a woman accused him of pushing her at a Tuesday night town hall meeting.

City Prosecutor Matt Kuhse said in a statement that he has reviewed police reports and a video of the incident, and “there is insufficient evidence to prove an intentional or reckless assault resulting in bodily injuries occurred. Also, there is insufficient evidence to prove that any threat was made in a menacing matter.”

A group of protesters was unhappy with Stothert’s answers about policing and other issues and got up to walk out, with Bilek behind them. A woman, Maria Regalado, said Bilek pushed her. She asked police officers who were there to take her statement. Bilek disputed that account later that night.

A group of people had posted on social media that they intended to come to the town hall meeting to question Stothert about Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump and a host of other topics.

On Wednesday, Stothert said: “This group intended to come to the town hall meeting and disrupt the meeting, and that’s what they did.”
