A man jailed in Mexicali on suspicion of fatally running down a Border Patrol agent in January has been released without charges, it was reported Wednesday.

The attorney general’s office in Baja California confirmed to The Associated Press that Jesus Navarro Montes had been released from a Mexicali jail. No explanation for his release was given.

Navarro was arrested Jan. 22 by Mexican authorities. He was accused of driving a Hummer carrying drugs on Jan. 19 near Yuma, Ariz. Border Patrol Agent Luis Aguilar was placing spike strips on a road to stop the Hummer and a second vehicle when he was struck and killed, Border Patrol authorities said.

Mexican authorities alleged Navarro kept going, crossed into Mexico and gave the Hummer to accomplices.
