State v. Mr. S (DMC No. 7091)

NOT CHARGED | EMBEZZLEMENT/THEFT – (DMC No. 7091) State v. Ms. S.: Mr. S. worked in an AM/PM convenience store and he was accused of stealing money from the register.  He admitted that he stole about $200 per month, which totaled $1,000.  Later, allegations went up to $20,000 stolen over the course of a year.  Because the surveillance cameras did not actually show Mr. S. placing money in his pocket and due to the fact that their insurance company had reimbursed the store’s owners, we were able to keep charges from being filed against Mr. S., and prevent him from facing multiple years in prison.

State v. Mr. S (DMC No. 9815)

NOT CHARGED | INSURANCE FRAUD – State v. Mr. S. (DMC No. 9815): Mr. S. was involved in a nasty divorce with his wife. She had stored numerous items to be resold as antiques in her house. When she left, she filed an insurance claim stating that there was 40,000-50,000 in damage and theft. Mr. S reported her to the insurance company and informed them that he was the true insured party and was the one who suffered the actual loss. The insurance company tried to claim that this was somehow a fraudulent statement. We were able to show that the fact that he was a victim of theft (even though it was from his wife who he was divorcing) still entitled him to a lawful insurance claim.w

(DMC No. 7129) REDUCED to Misdemeanor & Probation – Felony Auto Theft, (Maricopa County Superior Court No. CR2007-101364): Mr. H. was observed with 2 others stealing a motorized scooter from a parking lot. He was caught taking the scooter to his vehicle. He was ultimately indicted for Theft of Means of Transportation (Auto Theft), and was now facing prison time.

At the conclusion of probation, the charge was designated a misdemeanor, thereby not leaving a felony on Mr. H.’s record.

State vs. Mr. Q. (DMC No. 9948)

REDUCED | FORGERY – State vs. Mr. Q. (DMC No. 9948) (Maricopa County Superior Court No. CR2010-130829): Mr. Q. was asked by a couple of friends to cash a $4500 personal check made out to a person from California.  They stated that this person did not have two forms of ID, and since it was a personal check, it would be fine since Mr. Q. had an account at that particular bank.  The check had written on the back “Pay to the order of Mr. Q.” and was allegedly signed by the account holder.  When he went to the bank, the police arrived and it was confirmed that the check had been stole out of the account holder’s mailbox.  Even though this started off as a class 4 felony with serious implications, it was reduced to a class 6 open which became a misdemeanor.  It included 6 months of unsupervised probation and no jail.

State v. Mr. D (DMC No.)

REDUCED | THEFT OF MEANS OF TRANSPORTATION / SALE OF COUNTERFEIT MERCHANDISE –State v. Mr. D. (Tempe City Court No. 03-672467): Mr. D. had worked for a local car dealership, and he had taken 3 different vehicles and driven them for extended periods of time without permission. In some cases, the vehicles were driven for several thousand miles, thereby reducing the value of the vehicles substantially. After conducting extensive witness interviews, we were able to show that Mr. D. did have permission given to him by his General Manager, however, he did question the validity of this permission. On the eve of trial, the prosecutor extended a misdemeanor deal with zero days in jail and small amount of restitution.

State v. Mr. D (DMC No. 4014)

DISMISSED | THEFT OF MEANS OF TRANSPORTATION – State v. Mr. D. (Maricopa County Superior Court No. 2003-020415CR) Mr. D. was charged with class 3 felony Theft of Means of Transportation. In this particular case, Mr. D. asked the alleged victim if he could borrow his truck, and the alleged victim agreed. When Mr. D. returned, he indicated he had loaned the truck to “somebody else.” The victim felt that Mr. D. had exchanged his truck for drugs and called the police. The vehicle was recovered, and due to the fact that the victim also knew the person Mr. D. had lent the vehicle to, we convinced the State to dismiss all charges.

State v. Ms. A (DMC No. 3963)

REDUCED | EMBEZZLEMENT – (Maricopa County Superior Court No. 2003-014933CR): Ms. A. was accused of embezzling $3,000.00 from a governmental agency by having a falsified invoice submitted regarding a charity golf tournament. Although the prosecutor originally wanted a felony conviction with jail time, we were able to delve in Ms. A.’s various personal issues, and the case was reduced to a class 6 non-designated felony. Ms. A. was given 1 year probation and zero days in jail. After the 1 year of probation, her conviction was then designated as a misdemeanor.

State v. Mr. B. (DMC No. 4261)

DISMISSED | FRAUDULENT SCHEMES – (Maricopa County Superior Court No. 2003-014902CR): Mr. B. was accused of arriving at a local Chevrolet dealer in an attempt to obtain an engine and water pump valued at over $1,500.00 with a fraudulent purchase order from another Ford dealer. Apparently the other Ford dealer did not authorize this transaction, and all transactions were recorded on video tape. We were able to show the prosecutor that our client was “duped” into picking up the parts by a neighbor across the street. The neighbor had recently been released from prison and had his own criminal history. We had Mr. B. undergo a polygraph, which he passed. We then provided that polygraph to the prosecutor, and all charges were subsequently dismissed “in the interests of justice.”

State v. Mr. C (Case No. CR2003-000888)(DMC No. )

REDUCED | THEFT/POSSESSION OF BURGLARY TOOLS/BURGLARY – State v. Mr. C. (Peoria City Court No. CR2003-000888): Mr. C. was initially arrested because a victim claimed that she observed 2 males removing lug nuts and trying to steal 4 wheel covers from her vehicle. Mr. C. was arrested and charged with Burglary, Possession of Burglary Tools, and Theft. We were able to show the prosecutor that due to the low value of the property ($285.00) that the case should be routed to the City Prosecutor’s Office for misdemeanor charges. We then negotiated to have him charged with a single misdemeanor Theft. Mr. C. paid a $350.00 fine and served no jail time.
