State v. Ms. H (DMC No. 5220)

NOT CHARGED | DISORDERLY CONDUCT NOT CHARGED – State v. Ms. H. (DMC No. 5220) (Downtown Justice Court A542730/Maricopa County Sheriff’s Office DR03-27349): Ms. H. was at a Diamondback’s baseball game with her boyfriend, when he got involved in a fight and was arrested.  She went to follow him into the police holding area, when deputies stopped her.  She was told to leave the area and subsequently came back.  She demanded to have officer’s names, and began shouting profanities.  She was placed under arrest for disorderly conduct.  We convinced the Prosecutors that this case did not actually rise to the level of disorderly conduct, as Ms. H. merely emphasized to have the officer’s names while using bad words.  They agreed, and no charges were filed on Ms. H.
