Criminal charges of mischief and creating a disturbance have been dropped against street preacher Steven Brown, who was arrested in the summer of 2021 while sharing his religious views on a Vancouver public sidewalk.

His lawyer, Carol Crosson, says the charges never should have been laid. Brown now intends to pursue further legal action against the Crown for alleged misconduct, wrongful arrest, and violation of his Charter rights.
