It was claimed that Christopher Judd, of Overdale, Matlock, had threatened to torch the building to prevent police getting inside and arresting him following an alleged altercation with a neighbour.
The 44-year-old had denied affray and threatening to destroy or damage his home in a way that would endanger lives.
But on the third day of the trial at Derby Crown Court today the case against Mr Judd was dropped on the direction of Recorder Sean Smith.
