REDUCED | FELONY DISORDERLY CONDUCT with a GUN (Dangerous) REDUCED to CLASS 6 OPEN/MISDEMEANOR DISORDERLY CONDUCT with 60 DAYS JAIL DEFERRED– State v. Mr. P. (DMC No. 4845) (Maricopa County Superior Court CR2004-124472): Mr. P. and his wife had been in a bar, when he was dropped off at home while she went to run an errand with her 5 year old. When she got back, 6 shots had been fired from a gun inside the house, and Mr. P. was passed out. The police arrived and charged Mr. P. with felony disorderly conduct dangerous, which carries a prison range of 1 ½ to 3 years in prison. We were able to argue that nobody else’s peace was disturbed and the police were only called after the fact. We were able to have the case reduced to a class 6 open disorderly conduct with 60 days of deferred jail. Upon successful completion of probation, Mr. P. did not have to do any jail and his conviction became a mere misdemeanor. He has no felony on his record.
