DISMISSED | THEFT OF MEANS OF TRANSPORTATION – State v. Mr. D. (Maricopa County Superior Court No. 2003-020415CR) Mr. D. was charged with class 3 felony Theft of Means of Transportation. In this particular case, Mr. D. asked the alleged victim if he could borrow his truck, and the alleged victim agreed. When Mr. D. returned, he indicated he had loaned the truck to “somebody else.” The victim felt that Mr. D. had exchanged his truck for drugs and called the police. The vehicle was recovered, and due to the fact that the victim also knew the person Mr. D. had lent the vehicle to, we convinced the State to dismiss all charges.
