The court dismissed the charge pretty quickly.

The prosecutors dismissed the charges:
- The lawsuit states that the Secret Service agent instructed that Howards should be issued a summons for harassment, but that on July 6 the Eagle County District Attorney's Office dismissed all charges against Howards.

I'm trying to figure out how this differs significantly from the thousands of "wrongful" arrests each week.

If the facts are as alleged, it seems patent that the only reason the guy was arrested is that he told Cheney that his policies in Iraq were reprehensible. If this is happening thousands of times a week, that's a disturbing development.
