UNLAWFUL USE of MEANS of TRANSPORTATION REDUCED to MISDEMEANOR at SENTENCING with PROBATION and ZERO DAYS in JAIL – State v. Mr. B. (DMC No. 5531) (Maricopa County Superior Court CR2005-006076): Ms. B. was accused of taking her sister’s car without permission and keeping it for an extended point of time. A warrant was eventually issued for her arrest and she was picked up several years later. We were able to show that she was now drug free, was married and had a small child. Because the case was plead to a class 6 “open”, we were able to request a misdemeanor designation at sentencing. She was immediately given a misdemeanor with only 4 months of summary probation with zero days in jail. She has no felony on her record.
