Orders of Protection/Harassment Injunction Victories 2

DISMISSED – Injunction Against Harassment, State v. Mr. H. (DMC No. 7148) (Mesa Municipal Court No. 2007004030): Mr. H. had been accused by his granddaughter of various crimes. She took out an Order of Protection/Injunction Against Harassment against him. He was accused of violating that Order by calling and leaving a message stating, “Hi, this is Gramps, give me a call.” We were able to show that there was no accurate time on the answering machine recording which would indicate whether it had occurred before or after the Injunction was served. On the date of trial, all charges were dismissed.

(Pinal County Superior Court No. CV200601737): Mr. M. was in a dispute with his neighbor. Mr. M. was facing criminal charges for discharging a firearm in his backyard. The neighbor then filed an Injunction Against Harassment, and we were able to get that Injunction dismissed. This was important because had it not been dismissed, Mr. M. would have been at risk to have his neighbor call the police at any time he wished, thereby causing Mr. M. to go to jail.
