Statement on Erroneous Information Involving Denzel Perryman Case
Our office is aware of erroneous information circulating in several news reports regarding the status of Denzel Perryman’s case stemming from an arrest on Friday, August 1, 2025. Contrary to some media reports, no decision has been made to decline charges or forgo prosecution.
The case was reviewed by prosecutors for filing consideration and, on August 4, it was returned to law enforcement for further investigation. As of today, the case remains under active investigation. Once that process is complete, law enforcement may resubmit the case to our office for further review and consideration of potential charges.
We remain committed to ensuring that all cases are thoroughly and fairly evaluated based on the evidence.
