Marimar Martinez, a 30-yr-old #US #citizen, & her co-defendant, Anthony Ruiz—who was driving a different vehicle—had entered not guilty pleas to a federal charge of assaulting, resisting or impeding federal officers.

Defense attorneys for the pair have been aggressively challenging evidence & sought a speedy trial.
The motion from assistant #USattorneys Ronald DeWald & Aaron Bond did not explain the decision. A US attorney’s office spox did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
