REDUCED | FRAUD SCHEMES REDUCED to THEFT of CREDIT CARD with ZERO DAYS JAIL – State v. Mr. M. (DMC No. 5295) (Maricopa County Juvenile Court JV536764): Mr. M. was accused of taking the identity of others and opening credit card accounts. He would then have Apple computers shipped to his house. Upon execution of a search warrant, various items were found implicating him to fraudulent schemes. He was subsequently charged with identify theft, theft of a credit card and fraud schemes. We were able to keep the case in juvenile court, and reduce his charges to a simple credit card theft, which involved probation and 40 hours of community service only.
