TYBEE ISLAND, Ga. --
An autistic Georgia teenager who was Tasered by police in May will not face charges.
An officer claimed 18-year-old Clifford Grevemberg was drunk and disorderly outside a Tybee Island bar. Police said the officer used a Taser on the teen and threw him to the ground. Grevemberg suffered a broken tooth and scrapes to his face.
The officer has since resigned.
Authorities dropped criminal charges against Grevemberg when the Georgia Bureau of Investigation finished its investigation.
The teen's family said they plan to file a civil suit against the police department.
