ENDANGERMENT/ASSAULT and THREATS DISMISSED – State v. Mr. C. (DMC No. 9812) (Scottsdale City Court CR2010-030292): Mr. C. was travelling in the back of a cab with another passenger when he lit a bank receipt on fire and held it within a foot from the cab driver’s head and the roof of the cab.  The officer was directly behind the cab and witnessed the entire incident.  He pulled Mr. C. over, and charged him with endangerment, assault and threats.  After interviewing all of the witness and the cab driver, we were able to convince the Prosecutor that nobody was actually endangered, assaulted or threatened.  The Prosecutor agreed to dismiss all charges in exchange for Mr. C. taking alcohol abuse classes.
