NOT CHARGED/REDUCED | FALSE REPORTING/HIT AND RUN and ENDANGERMENT – State v. Mr. S. (DMC No. 10842) (Scottsdale City Court CR2012010042): Police were dispatched to the location of Terrance & Vista, where they discovered a vehicle that had struck and blown apart a block wall. They observed debris strewn all over the roadway. When they contacted Mr. S., he had denied driving and stated that his vehicle was stolen. Eventually he admitted to driving and he was charged with hit and run and endangerment. We were able to convince the prosecutor that nobody was endangered (other than Mr. S.), and that the hit and run charge should also be dismissed in exchanged for a reckless driving plea involving no jail time. We also convinced the prosecutor to not charge Mr. S. for false reporting to a police officer.
