ASSAULT REDUCED to a MINOR in CONSUMPTION – State v. Ms. C. (DMC No. 10776) (Tempe City Court 12-029781): Ms. C. and her roommate were out at a bar, when they got into a fight. They subsequently went back to their apartment, and began fighting again. When police arrived, they found out both were intoxicated and possessed false ID’s. Because Ms. C.’s roommate was bleeding from her lip, Ms. C. was arrested. We were able to convince the Prosecutor’s to dismiss the assault in exchange for a simple “minor in consumption” ticket with no jail.
