A man is pulled over on traffic. He first lies to the officers about his name. When that doesn't work he tries running. When that doesn't work he tries to fight. Come to find out has a federal warrant for drugs. The district attorney's office refused to take charges for fail to ID and evading/resisting arrest! Whether it be laziness or ineptness I'm sick of these Mickey Mouse assistant DAs not wanting to prosecute anyone unless it's a news story!

Good thing your city isn't posted. It sounds like a prime place for the criminal element to run amok if the DA's are selectively prosecuting arrests.
If you're making a legit arrest and the DA decides it isn't worth pursuing, doesn't the perp have an open door for a lawsuit?
Just askin', is all.

I'm kind of lost on this one. Why would the DA not want to prosecute this guy?

I hope you're not in the same Texas area I'm in - Sounds like you have a bunch of lazy DA's there. They really need a good kick in the pants to do their job! It shouldn't matter if they get on the news or not - its a matter of actually doing what they are supposed to do - prosecute them.
