State v. Mr. G (DMC No. 7029)

(Maricopa County Superior Court No. CR2007-109798): Mr. G. was charged with felony criminal damage and felony resisting arrest. Mr. G. came home from a party and was extremely upset with his neighbor, and ended up damaging a door frame. Officers were called to scene, and as they spoke with Mr. G., they became concerned that something was in pocket. They immediately grabbed him and threw him to the ground, although Mr. G. stated he had “done nothing wrong.” After police tasered him and arrested him, we were able to convince the prosecutor that this should be dismissed to a mere misdemeanor, and they agreed. He was originally facing a felony with up to 3 years in prison, but ultimately received a misdemeanor with zero days in jail.

State v. Mr. D (DMC No. 3947)

DISMISSED | AGGRAVATED ASSAULT/DISORDERLY CONDUCT/RESISTING ARREST State v. Mr. D. (Maricopa County Superior Court No. 2002-094134CR): Ms. D. was having a party in his back yard with numerous people and had been drinking when he was confronted by a young lady who spit in his face.

When the police grabbed him to arrest him, he did not realize they were officers (as he was grabbed from behind). He was then charged with Resisting Arrest and Aggravated Assault on Police Officers. We immediately set the case to trial and began describing the facts to the prosecutor involved in the case. Eventually the prosecutor moved to dismiss all charges against Mr. D.

State v. Mr. M. (DMC No. 10164)

Mr. M was involved in a traffic accident on the State Route 51 near Cactus Road. Officers were called out and Mr. M was arrested for DUI and he provided a blood test of a .303 BAC. While in the back of the Patrol car, he became belligerent and used profanities. The Officers’ claimed that he tried to grab a taser and Mr. M. was then charged with Felony Aggravated Assault on a Police Officer under Arizona Revised Statute ARS 13-1204(A)(8)(A). Because Mr. M had 2 prior felony convictions, he was facing potential of 5 years+ in Prison.

At Jury Trial, we were able to show that Mr. M was extremely intoxicated by alcohol. This proved that he did not have the requisite “intent” necessary to grab a taser, turn it on and fire it at the Officer. He was simply pulling away while Officers were attempting to restrain him. The Jury agreed and found Mr. M Not Guilty of all charges.
