MIAMI -- Charges against a South Florida man who was arrested and suspended from school after a confrontation with Florida Memorial University security guards have been dropped.

On Wednesday morning, all charges against 19-year-old Emory Mitchell were dropped. Mitchell faced three counts of battery on a security officer.

With a smile and a look of relief, Mitchell walked out of court a free man.

"I feel great. I feel great about it," Mitchell told Local 10's Sasha Andrade. "I'm glad justice was finally served."

The struggle between Mitchell and school security officers on Oct. 19 was caught on video by fellow students.

The video showed Mitchell struggling with security guards at the school's student union. It was shot through the door of a restroom, where the guards had chased Mitchell. During the scuffle, a security guard was also seen pulling out his gun.

Guards accused Mitchell of assault and possessing drugs, though none were ever found.

Mitchell maintained his innocence throughout the ordeal, saying he was the one who had been attacked and the video proved it.

"Everything that the security officers said, the school took it as facts and suspended me," Mitchell said.

During Wednesday's hearing, which last only seconds, the state sided with Mitchell, dropping all charges against him.

Mitchell said Wednesday he planned to press charges of his own. He went to the Miami Gardens Police Department after leaving court.

"They're guilty of battery and assault on me," he said.

Mitchell said he is upset at the security guards and at his school because two of the three guards involved in the incident continue to work there, while Mitchell is still suspended.

"If you can't trust a security guard at the university you're paying to attend, then it isn't a safe and wise decision to be there," Mitchell said.

The university said Mitchell cannot go back to school until he is cleared by FMU for any on-campus violations.
