Brickner charges dropped

All charges against former Associated Students, Inc director, Jeremy Brickner, have been dropped.

“I knew they had nothing on me,” Brickner said.

The district attorneys office filed a motion on Nov. 4 to dismiss the misdemeanor charge of threatening to commit a crime resulting in death or great bodily injury.

Brickner, whose legal name is Lord Jeremy Christian Brickner, was arrested in June for allegedly making threats against CSUS library personnel during a dispute about overdue book fines.

Brickner served as Director Health and Human Services through the 1998-1999 school year before graduating with a bachelor of science in criminal justice.

Brickner, enrolled in a master’s degree program at CSUS, was elected ASI Director Post Baccalaureate last spring but lost the position because of the incidents surrounding his arrest.

According to Brickner, the university imposed a one-year probation that will expire at the anniversary of his arrest and he is not allowed to use the university library until the year 2003.

Throughout this ordeal Brickner has maintained his innocence and says the dismissal of the charges is a personal vindication.

“My instructors kept asking ‘why don’t you just drop this and plead out?’,” said Brickner. “But I’m not a quitter. I don’t give up.”
