The officer, Sgt. Michael Kunovich, died during a scuffle with Aguilar Mendez, who was allegedly unable to understand or speak English. The release comes 10 months after the incident, and the state attorney's office cited the defendant's incompetence to proceed as the reason for dismissing the charges.
