Authorities say Brewer’s car had been stolen, and he tracked down the teenage suspects, fired a gun at them and then forced one of them to go back to Gary with him.
Brewer had pleaded not guilty to the charges.
He has now completed a six-month pretrial diversion program and a judge has dismissed the charges.
WBBM Newsradio has asked Councilman Brewer to comment.
