REDUCED | BURGLARY AND AGGRAVATED CRIMINAL DAMAGE – State vs. Mr. S. (DMC No. 9983) (Maricopa County Superior Court No. 2007-133818-002): Mr. S. was an 18 year old high school student who went with several of his friends to a local junior high. They took several golf carts and drove them around the school and crashed them into walls. They also utilized fire extinguishers to engage in other acts of Criminal Damage. Although Mr. S. was originally charged with class 4 Burglary and class 5 Aggravated Criminal Damage, we were able to convince the prosecutor to mitigate the punishment down to a class 6 undesignated felony for Possession of Burglary Tools. He was given 12 months probation, and after he paid restitution and completed probation, his charge became a misdemeanor. He has no felony record and did not spend any time in jail.
