The 12th Circuit State Attorney’s Office closed the case of a Bradenton woman arrested for allegedly punching a server at the Rod & Reel Pier restaurant less than two months after the incident.
Holmes Beach police arrested Jessica Nunemaker Feb. 25 after an alleged altercation between Nunemaker and the server at the restaurant at 875 N. Shore Drive. Anna Maria.
Nunemaker told police she was upset with kids doing drugs on the pier, according to the HBPD report.
The victim did not respond to the state’s request for an interview and, without the witness testimony, the state could not prove the battery charge suggested by police, a prosecutor wrote in an April 18 memo to the HBPD.
The state will review the decision if the victim contacts the office or the HBPD supplements its report.
