A judge has dismissed charges for more than half of the 19 people arrested last November as Salt Lake City police evicted members of the Occupy movement who refused to abandon a tent village that had sprung up in Pioneer Park.

In all, Salt Lake City Justice Court Judge L.G. Cutler dismissed about 20 infractions Monday for 10 people accused of disturbing the peace and violating park curfew. One 22-year-old man was convicted of disturbing the peace and ordered to pay a $100 fine for allegedly resisting officers as they arrested him.
