DISMISSED | OBSTRUCTING PUBLIC THOROUGHFARE DISMISSED – State v. Mr. F. (DMC No. 4996) (Tempe City Court 04-765642): Mr. F. was in downtown Tempe on Mill Avenue, when he ran across a street before the crosswalk signaled him to. Traffic had to stop, and a bike patrol officer rode up and cited Mr. F. for “obstructing a public thoroughfare”. Due to the age of Mr. F., and his clean criminal history, the prosecutor agreed to dismiss the charge in exchange for community service.
