RECKLESS DRIVING DISMISSED – State v. Mr. J. (DMC No. 10621) (Paradise Valley City Court 37417): A Paradise Valley Police Officer stated that he saw Mr. J.’s vehicle turn into the parking lot of the Franciscan Renewal Center at 60th Street and Lincoln. He saw it drive rapidly and then turn back out of the property, and then the taillights “disappeared”. He found the vehicle crashed in the desert and Mr. J. was not inside of the vehicle. Due to the possible issues regarding positively identifying the driver, we were able to convince the Prosecutor to dismiss all charges in exchange for some community service hours.
