MALIBU, Calif. (AP) - Pierce Brosnan won't be charged for getting into a scuffle with a photographer last month in Malibu, authorities said Tuesday.

"There is insufficient evidence to prove this case to a jury beyond a reasonable doubt," prosecutor James Garrison said in declining to file a battery charge.

Brosnan spokeswoman Jennifer Allen said she had not heard about the decision.

The sheriff's department investigated after the ex-James Bond and former "Remington Steele" star got into a shoving match with a photographer Oct. 26 outside a Mexican restaurant.

Brosnan was not arrested.
