State v. Mr. S. (Pinal County Superior Court No. 200201198CR): Mr. S. had numerous arguments with his neighbor. He lived on a 10 acre piece of land, and had been in previous fight with his neighbor over a peacock coming onto their property and doing “donuts” on his property. The alleged victim was mad at Mr. S.’s dog and said he was going to go inside, get a shotgun, and blow the dog and Mr. S.’s family away. While he was heading back into his house to retrieve a gun, Mr. S fired a gun into the air. The neighbor also claimed something similar had happened on a previous Friday night. Originally the State wanted 5 to 15 years in prison, but through extensive investigation we were able to get the Pinal County Attorney’s Office to reduce the plea to a Misdemeanor Disorderly Conduct with no jail.
