DISMISSED | AGGRAVATED ASSAULT/DISORDERLY CONDUCT/RESISTING ARREST State v. Mr. D. (Maricopa County Superior Court No. 2002-094134CR): Ms. D. was having a party in his back yard with numerous people and had been drinking when he was confronted by a young lady who spit in his face. He pushed her away, and the police were called. Because she was 15 years of age, he was charged with Aggravated Assault. When the police grabbed him to arrest him, he did not realize they were officers (as he was grabbed from behind). He was then charged with Resisting Arrest and Aggravated Assault on Police Officers. We immediately set the case to trial and began describing the facts to the prosecutor involved in the case. Eventually the prosecutor moved to dismiss all charges against Mr. D.
