(CNN) A San Antonio jogger who was arrested and detained by police last week says he was "guilty before proven innocent" when police took in the wrong man. Mathias Ometu, a jogger who was stopped and detained by San Antonio police, speaks at a press conference on Wednesday. San Antonio Police Chief William McManus said officers acted appropriately during the arrest , but he said both wanted the charges dropped. "Both officers felt it important to use this incident as an opportunity for unity and understanding at a time when it is most needed," McManus said. "He was going to move forward with assault to a police officer," Ometu said.
