DISMISSED AT BENCH TRIAL | ASSAULT – State v. Mr. M. (DMC No. 8820) (Tolleson City Court CR2008-0412): Mr. M. got into an argument with his stepson on Stanley Goff Drive in Tolleson, Arizona. The altercation became physical, and the stepson then reported Mr. M. to the police. Mr. M. was ultimately arrested and cited for Assault, and given a Restraining Order to stay out of his own house. Mr. M.’s wife disagreed with her son, and had him go stay at the aunt’s house while the case was pending. We were able to produce Mr. M.’s stepson’s criminal record which showed him to be dishonest and violent. Ultimately, the case was Dismissed just prior to the start of his Bench Trial, and Mr. M. was allowed to return to his own house.
