A visiting Chinese scholar will not be charged with resisting arrest by Univeristy of California, Berkely, police who mistook him for a Peeping Tom, Alameda County officials said. Dismissal of the misdemeanor charges against Li Xizhi, 43, followed a stong protest by China and an apology by the U.S. State Department. Li was taken into custody Nov. 18 because officers thought he looked like a man who had been peeking into campus restrooms. Another suspect was later captured.
