The San Francisco Chronicle has the report, writing:
Deshon Marman, 20, was arrested by San Francisco police on suspicion of trespassing, battery and resisting arrest in connection with the June 15 incident on US Airways Flight 488 at San Francisco International Airport. But in a statement today, San Mateo County District Attorney Steve Wagstaffe said no charges would be filed against Marman.
"My belief is if we took this into a courtroom with 12 members of our community on our jury, they would tell me, 'Come on guys, you have more important things to spend your time on,'" Wagstaffe is quoted as saying by The Associated Press. "And I share that view."

As for the background, the June 15 incident began after Marman got in a back-and-forth argument with the flight crew, which requested he pull up his low-sagging pants. That culminated with the captain ordering Marman to leave the plane, which Marman refused. That's when the police were called.

More broadly, the episode kicked off a high-profile debate, with some arguing saying the airline was justified in insisting passengers to dress appropriately.
Others, however, pointed to race as a factor.
At the time of the incident, Marman's mother told the San Francisco Chronicle in a June 16 story that she thought her son drew the attention of the airline worker "because of the way he looks -- young black man with dreads and baggy pants."
The debate took another twist six days later, when a follow-up story by the San Francisco Chronicle reported "a man who was wearing little but women's undergarments was allowed to fly the airline" without incident. That man was white.
But even with the charges dropped, the story may not go away, based on comments made by Marman's attorney.
"I think that the district attorney did the right thing," Joe O'Sullivan, Marman's attorney, says to the Chronicle. "I think they realized that Deshon had not committed a crime and that the real villain in this case is US Airways."
He says he's considering filing a suit against the airline, saying: "I think we're going to try to make it a more expensive flight for US Airways."
