Actually, were I the prosecutor (based on some other evidence) I don't know what I'd do.
The guy has a list of dismissed cases, for disorderly conduct, impersonating a police officer and jumping bail.
He wasn't convicted, and I don't have the details, but I don't have to look at this as a prosecutor.
From an outside standpoint (and based purely on the charge sheets, because I don't have the statements), the guy seems to have some problems, and a desire to play the hero.
So I'd probably press charges, at the misdemeanor level. I'd want to get the max, suspended, with some counselling.
At the very least I'd have a bit less than three years where he'd not be playing Zorro, the Lone Ranger.
