DISMISSED | FRAUDULENT SCHEMES – (Maricopa County Superior Court No. 2003-014902CR): Mr. B. was accused of arriving at a local Chevrolet dealer in an attempt to obtain an engine and water pump valued at over $1,500.00 with a fraudulent purchase order from another Ford dealer. Apparently the other Ford dealer did not authorize this transaction, and all transactions were recorded on video tape. We were able to show the prosecutor that our client was “duped” into picking up the parts by a neighbor across the street. The neighbor had recently been released from prison and had his own criminal history. We had Mr. B. undergo a polygraph, which he passed. We then provided that polygraph to the prosecutor, and all charges were subsequently dismissed “in the interests of justice.”
