The incident at DIA happened in June. The Denver City Attorney's Office issued a citation to Wayans for disturbing the peace.
Prosecutors suggested information gathered by Wayans’ lawyers about white passengers being allowed to violate the luggage limit played a role.DENVER — Denver prosecutors asked a judge on Friday to dismiss a case against Marlon Wayans stemming from a luggage dispute with an airline employee who the actor and comedian said targeted him because of his race.
One of Wayans' lawyers, David M. Beller, said a judge has granted the request. He applauded the city's decision. According to Wayans’ motion to dismiss the case, a United Airlines gate agent told him he could not get on a flight to Kansas City with three bags. The gate agent tried to physically block Wayans from getting on the flight after he consolidated his luggage into two bags to conform with airline policy, according to the filing. Wayans boarded anyway and was later asked to get off the plane before it departed.
The police officers who investigated were doubtful that any crime had been committed, according to Wayans' filing, but the gate agent asked that charges be pursued.
