GEORGETOWN, Guyana – Guyana’s government says it plans to drop charges against an Irish teenager who was accused earlier this year with threatening to shoot and kill the president of the South American country.

Public prosecutions director Shalimar Ali Hack wrote a letter stating he was dropping criminal proceedings against 17-year-old Cillian James Crossan.

Police Chief Leroy Brummel said Thursday that he expects the charge will soon be dismissed.

Crossan’s lawyer has said the teen was having an alcohol-fueled conversation with two bodyguards of President Donald Ramotar at an international rodeo event in April. The president was not there at the time.

Crossan, who has pleaded not guilty, is in Guyana as a volunteer with the British aid group Project Trust.
