Charges against John DePetro have been dismissed as the radio host faced a trespassing charge related to an incident over the summer during a Monday court hearing.
DePetro was arrested in mid-August outside a home on Staples Avenue in Warwick.
Police searched the house several months earlier as part of an investigation into the disappearance of Charlotte Lester, who has been missing for six months.
“I respect our justice system and respect law enforcement, specifically the Warwick PD,” DePetro said on Twitter. “The search for Charlotte Lester continues as I resume efforts searching for answers into her disappearance and holding Mark Perkins accountable for his actions against myself and Ladybug.”
The man who lives there, Mark Perkins, was also arrested the following day after he allegedly charged at DePetro with a lawnmower while DePetro was live-streaming.
Unlike DePetro, who had his charges dismissed, Perkins still faces an assault charge, according to court records.
