was reported to be part of a hotel brawl in Las Vegas<\/a> and cops detained him but ultimately decided not to arrest him. According to reports, a witness said she saw Sonnen banging on the door of a hotel room at the Four Seasons around 7 p.m. Saturday night. The witness says a couple walked by and a physical altercation broke out, the reason for the altercation was not known. The witness says Sonnen was easily handling the man before the woman accompanied by the man began to scream and a bystander called the police which led to Chael Sonnen being detained.<\/p>\n![\"Chael](\"http:\/\/staging.tcpcharms.com\/bjpenn\/wp-content\/uploads\/Chael-Sonnen-9.png\")

Although two of the counts were dismissed, Defense attorney David Figler attempted to have all charges against Sonnen dismissed iting in a formal motion the prosecution\u2019s inability to obtain statements the Stellpflugs made to the media following the alleged incident.<\/p>\n
\u201c[Christopher Stellpflug] has given some statements which have been broadcast concerning Mr. Sonnen\u2019s mental state \u2026 and also claimed injuries and motivations unsupported by other evidence,\u201d Figler wrote in the motion. “It is clear that if Mr. Sonnen could not form the requisite intent to commit a willful and unlawful battery that he would be exonerated of all charges.\u201d<\/p>\n
However, the Stellpflug’s say\u00a0they were disappointed and \u201cdisgusted\u201d by the dropped charges.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe just want justice,\u201d Julie Stellpflug said. \u201cWe did not deserve what happened to us.\u201d<\/p>\n
Sonnen also did not attend Wednesday’s hearing, according to The Las Vegas Review-Journal.<\/p>\n
