REDUCED | DRIVING ON A SUSPENDED LICENSE – State vs. Mr. G. (DMC No. 10065) (Apache Junction Justice Court No. TR2010-06331): Mr. G. was stopped for a minor traffic violation and it was discovered his license was suspended. He told police that his license was not suspended and there was a mistake at the DMV. Because Mr. G. would lose his license another year should he be convicted of driving on a suspended license, he was facing a serious penalty. We were able to convince the prosecutor that it would serve the greater interest to reduce this to a charge of Unsworn Falsification (ARS 13-2704 A1), which would not result in Mr. G.’s license being suspended. He was able to keep his job which required a valid license.
