LAS VEGAS (AP) - Special prosecutors say they will not pursue charges against a Las Vegas-area judge who was arrested in late December on suspicion of domestic violence.

Nye County District Attorney Chris Arabia told the Las Vegas Review-Journal on Sunday that they decided not to file domestic battery charges against Clark County District Judge Stefany Miley after reviewing the investigation.

Miley’s attorney, David Chesnoff, says they are “pleased” with the decision, noting that the judge did nothing wrong.

The special prosecutors were assigned to review the allegations after Las Vegas prosecutors, the Clark County district attorney’s office and the state attorney general’s office were recused.

The newspaper reported that the allegations stemmed from an argument between the judge and her teenage son. The teen reported he was slapped.
