LAS VEGAS (KSNV) — Federal prosecutors have dropped their case against the man arrested in connection with a biolab uncovered in Las Vegas earlier this year.

The U.S. Attorney's office for Nevada filed a motion earlier this month to dismiss the criminal complaint filed against Ori Solomon, also spelled as "Salomon" in the complaint.

Prosecutors had charged him with illegal possession of a firearm in the U.S. District Court for Nevada. An FBI complaint alleged that his immigration status precluded him from owning or possessing a gun.

"After a careful review of the evidence and additional information provided by defendant, the Government has concluded that the interests of justice require dismissal of the complaint at this time," reads the motion to dismiss, dated May 11.

No further reason is included, and a spokesperson for the U.S. Attorney's Office for Nevada declined to comment. News 3 has reached out to Solomon's attorney for comment.

The motion to dismiss is without prejudice, meaning prosecutors could elect to re-file the complaint.

Las Vegas Metropolitan Police and the FBI jointly announced Solomon's arrest after responding to an alleged biological laboratory found in an east Las Vegas home in January.

LVMPD said Solomon, identified as the home's property manager, was arrested on suspicion of disposing and discharging hazardous waste.

The state-level case against him remains ongoing in Las Vegas Justice Court, though a criminal complaint has not yet been filed.
