REDUCED | FRAUD SCHEMES/FORGERY REDUCED to ATTEMPTED THEFT class 6 open/MISDEMEANOR with PROBATION and ZERO DAYS JAIL – State v. Mr. M. (DMC No. 254) (Maricopa County Superior Court CR97-95494): Mr. M. was accused of ordering computer equipment and having it delivered to a local resort in Scottsdale.  He would then present a fake cashier’s check as a “C.O.D.” and then keep the items.  Detectives had been monitoring him and took him into custody when he attempted to do it another time. We were able to have the case reduced from “fraud schemes” and “forgery” to a simple “attempted theft” which turned into a misdemeanor after completion of probation.  No jail time was involved.
