Rhys Ifans, best known for playing the villainous Lizard in The Amazing Spider-Man will not be charged with suspicion of misdemeanor battery in connection with his pushing a female guard at Comic-Con.

Gina Coburn, a spokeswoman for the San Diego Office of the City Attorney tells TheWrap.com, "After reviewing differing witness accounts, our prosecutors concluded there was not sufficient evidence to prove the case beyond a reasonable doubt."

Police claimed the actor smelled of alcohol and became enraged on July 22 when authorities at Comic-Con refused to admit his friend due to lack of credentials. Ifans, who was on his way to The Amazing Spider-Man panel, was accused of pushing the guard in an effort to get through, and the guard made a citizens arrest.
