DISMISSED/NOT CHARGED | AGGRAVATED ASSAULT WITH GUN DISMISSED/HIT AND RUN NOT CHARGED – State v. Mr. V. (DMC No. 10336) (Maricopa County Superior Court CA2009-055168): Mr. V. was driving in Cave Creek when he and another vehicle side swiped each other. They both pulled into a Bashas’ parking lot when the other driver ran up to Mr. V.’s window in an excited and angry manner. Mr. V. had a gun in a holster, which he kept for his protection, and he displayed this weapon to the other driver. The other driver ran away, got in his car, left and called police. We were able to convince the police that there was no hit and run as the other driver had left, and we also explained to the prosecutor that Mr. V. was justified in displaying his weapon. Even though he had been charged with AGGRAVATED ASSAULT with a gun and was facing 5 to 15 years in prison, all charges were dismissed.
