(WCIV) — Charges against Dinah Maria Chollet, the owner of The Knot Burger Pub in Summerville, were dismissed Tuesday after a judge found there was no probable cause to support her arrest, according to court proceedings.Chollet had been charged with contributing to the delinquency of a minor following an investigation into Chollet's alleged participation in an Instagram group titled "Summerville Walkout," which was created by students organizing an anti-ICE protest planned for Feb. 20.READ MORE | Summerville business owner accused of influencing teens in school walkout groupPolice alleged that Chollet entered the student-run group chat and encouraged participants to take part in the school walkout. An arrest warrant was filed later that week.However, during court proceedings, the judge dismissed the charge, citing the absence of key elements required to support the allegation. According to the court, since no walkout ever occurred, there was no evidence that Chollet encouraged violence or unlawful behavior. Those conclusions led the judge to rule there was insufficient probable cause to justify Chollet's arrest.The court rulings align with previous statements from Chollet's attorney, who publicly disputed the accusation, calling the charge "unfounded and unsupported by the facts."READ MORE | 'The facts don't match the allegation' attorney says of Summerville business owner arrest“Any reasonable person who reviews what actually occurred—not rumors, not online gossip—but what actually happened, will reach the same conclusion: the facts do not match the allegation,” the attorneys said in a statement.Following the dismissal of the charges, Chollet took to Facebook to confirm the court's ruling, saying in a statement, "All charges: dismissed. If you spoke on it before, feel free to speak on it now at the same volume. I'll wait."The dismissal brings the case to a close.
