State v. Mr. N. (DMC No. 6549)

REDUCED | DISORDERLY CONDUCT with a GUN (dangerous) REDUCED to a MISDEMEANOR with PROBATION and ZERO DAYS in JAIL – State v. Mr. N. (DMC No. 6549) (Maricopa County Superior Court CR2006-116296): Mr. N. got into an altercation with another vehicle. As he passed the other vehicle, the other driver yelled out profanities. Mr. N. then exchanged verbal profanities and drove off. While this all occurred, Mr. N. had his cell phone in a black case in his hand. The other driver called in and said that Mr. N. had displayed a weapon. When police contacted Mr. N. at his house, they arrested him for “Disorderly Conduct” (Dangerous) with a gun because he did own a gun-there was a clip (not a gun) in his glove box of his car. We were able to show the Prosecutor it was there because he had gone shooting several weeks prior, and that the other driver was mistaken about the cell phone/gun. Eventually, the Prosecutor agreed to reduce the charge to a simple misdemeanor for “Disorderly Conduct” involving the verbal exchange, and reduced it to probation with zero day’s jail. Originally Mr. N. was facing 1 ½ to 3 years of prison.

DISORDERLY CONDUCT with a GUN (dangerous) REDUCED to PROBATION with ZERO DAYS in JAIL – State v. Mr. J. (DMC No. 6106) (Maricopa County Superior Court CR2005-136487): Police were called to Mr. J.’s residence regarding shots fired. When they arrived, Mr. J. and his wife both denied any shots being fired, and he stated that he had been asleep in his bedroom after drinking 16 beers. When the victim was contacted, he claimed that he heard 4 shots, and then went and looked in the yard and saw Mr. J. fire off another 7 to 10 shots into the air. When Mr. J. was re-questioned, he admitted that he was firing off shots to scare off a vehicle that had committed drive-by shootings in his neighborhood in the past. Mr. J. was facing 1 ½ to 3 years in prison for “Disorderly Conduct (Dangerous)”, however, we were able to convince the Prosecutor to offer a probation deal. We then showed the Judge that Mr. J. had engaged in alcohol treatment and counseling, and he imposed zero days in jail.

State v. Mr. H (DMC No. 6699)

NOT CHARGED/DISMISSED | AGGRAVATED ASSAULT with a GUN (dangerous) NOT CHARGED/DISORDERLY CONDUCT with a GUN (dangerous) DISMISSED – State v. Mr. H. (DMC No. 6699) (Maricopa County Superior Court CR2006-030697): Mr. H.’s wife went to the police station and stated that 3 days earlier her husband had threatened her with a gun, demanding to know who had been texting her on her phone. When police went to question Mr. H., he denied that he pointed the gun at her, and instead that he pointed it at himself and threatened to commit suicide. He was arrested for Aggravated Assault (Dangerous) with a gun. We convinced the Prosecutors charging bureau to only charge Mr. H. with the lesser of Disorderly Conduct (Dangerous) with a gun. During the pendency of the case, we presented evidence that Ms. H.’s story kept changing, and in addition, she no longer desired prosecution. Due to various other issues, the State moved to dismiss all charges in full. Originally, Mr. H. was facing 5 to 15 years for the Aggravated Assault, and 1 ½ to 3 years for the Disorderly Conduct (Dangerous). He now has nothing on his record.
