ASSAULT DISMISSED – State v. Mr. W. (DMC No. 10871) (Youngtown Magistrate Court CR2012-007): Police received a complaint of an argument at west Longley Avenue in Youngtown, Arizona. When they arrived, they saw Mr. W. arguing with his girlfriend. It appeared that there had been some type of physical contact between the two, and Mr. W. was automatically arrested (because he was the “male”). We were able to convince the Prosecutor that this was not Mr. W.’s normal reaction to stressful events, and that he had been drinking. In exchange for Mr. W. attending some educational classes, the Prosecutor agreed to dismiss all charges.
