St. Louis, MO – A St. Louis State Representative will not be charged for an incident last May. That's when Democrat Rodney Hubbard was arrested after a man accused him of shooting a gun at his car after an altercation.

But investigators say the accuser, Tyrus Williams, is a twice-convicted drug offender who lied during questioning. That raises doubts that Hubbard did anything wrong, investigators say.

Hubbard's district stretches from Barnes-Jewish Hospital, through part of the Central West End, then northeast to the river.
