(CNN) A Maryland state's attorney's office confirmed Monday it had dropped charges against a woman accused of assaulting White House aide Kellyanne Conway.

"It is the best resolution for all parties concerned," Ramon Korionoff, a spokesman for the Montgomery County state's attorney's office, said. "The defendant in this matter did apologize to the victim in this matter and did so in a recent letter."

CNN first reported on the incident earlier this year, when Conway told CNN's Dana Bash that a woman grabbed and shook her while she was out with her teenage daughter at a Maryland restaurant last fall.

Conway, a top aide to President Donald Trump, said in the interview that the woman had grabbed her from behind and shook her, and described the woman as "out of control."

"She ought to pay for that," Conway said.
