The case had previously faced delays as prosecutors continued gathering evidence.
However, the State ultimately decided against pursuing the charge after citing insufficient evidence.
The withdrawal means the proceedings will not continue under the current prosecution.
Investigations preceded court appearance
The latest development follows an earlier postponement to allow investigators more time.
The State had requested additional time to complete its investigations before proceeding with the matter.
However, prosecutors eventually withdrew the charge before Chitsama entered a plea.
