The department also said it could not comment on the internal administrative investigation, which concluded Aug. 25, until Mann has completed his right of appeal and due process.

A police board of inquiry found that Mann’s “use of force on three individuals during two separate incidents was inappropriate and should be referred to his chain of command for review of potential policy violations and disposition.”

The DPS said it would not comment on the findings of the investigation, saying only that the results were forwarded to the Pima County Attorney’s Office.

Stephen Weeks, an attorney for Gardilcic, who was finishing her last semester at UA at the time of the incident, said while Gardilcic is disappointed to hear that Mann would not be prosecuted, he was not surprised.

“Very rarely do prosecutors go after police officers in their local community,” he said. Likely, there would not be a unanimous jury to convict Mann.
