State v. Mr. F. (DMC No. 6005)

DISMISSED | DRAG RACING DISMISSED – State v. Mr. F. (DMC No. 6005) (University Lakes Justice Court TR05-50712): A Maricopa County Sherriff’s Officer alleged that while working a DUI Task Force he observed two vehicle’s racing on Broadway Road. He pulled over Mr. F. and claimed that he was drag racing with another car. Mr. F. vehemently denied this charge. We were able to convince the prosecutor that he may have been travelling fast, but he was not actively racing anybody. All charges were dismissed.

State v. Ms. J. (DMC No. 10757)

DISMISSED/REDUCED | UNDERAGE DRINKING and DRIVING (.071) REDUCED to reckless driving with zero days in jail/FICTITIOUS LICENSE DISMISSED – State v. Ms. J. (DMC No. 10757) (University Lakes Justice Court TR2012-120607): A Tempe Police Officer saw Ms. J. and her female friend walking on Rural from Apache and they appeared to be unsteady on their feet. He then pulled around and waited for them to get in their truck and drive, before pulling them over for allegedly weaving. Ms. J. was subsequently given a breath test which revealed a .071, and was charged for underage drinking and driving, along with having a fictitious driver’s license. We were able to show the prosecutor that the stop was questionable, and they agreed to reduce the charge down to a simple “reckless driving” with zero days in jail. They also dismissed the fictitious license ticket. The fictitious license and underage drinking and driving charges would have both caused Ms. J. to lose her driver’s license until age 21.

State v. Mr. C (DMC No.7244)

DISMISSED | Solicitation of Burglary, State v. Mr. C. (DMC No.7244) (University Lakes Justice Court No. JC2007-115374): Mr. C. was an ASU student. While returning from class with a friend they sighted a golf course cart on ASU’s campus. Mr. C. acted as a lookout while his friend stole various items from the golf cart. We were able to explain to the prosecutor that a conviction would keep Mr. C. from ever obtaining a job in the Federal Government. In addition, this would potentially have caused him to be thrown out of his dorm room by the University. Ultimately, were able to convince the State to dismiss charges “in the interests of justice.”

State v. Ms. H (DMC No.)

DISMISSED AT BENCH TRIAL | Possession of Marijuana and Possession of Drug Paraphernalia, State v. Ms. H. (University Lakes Justice Court No. CR05-0550731): Ms. H. was a resident of an ASU dormitory when police responded to an anonymous tip of drug sales. When they questioned Ms. H., she consented to a search of the room. Underneath the bed they found a bag containing various items with burnt marijuana residue, and a small amount of marijuana. Our contention was that the amount of marijuana was not enough to use, and because multiple people used that room, they could not prove it belonged to Ms. H. Just before trial was to begin, we made a Motion that the actual evidence needed to be produced at trial, and the State did not have the evidence in their possession. Therefore, the State filed a motion to dismiss all charges.

State v. Ms. R (DMC No. 7068)

(University Lakes Justice Court No. JC2006161187): Ms. R. was a student at ASU. She had gotten into an argument with her dorm roommate, who claimed that Ms. R. was threatening her without specifically stating she would do physical violence. The case was set to bench trial, and on the day of trial the State had not subpoenaed their necessary witnesses. The State attempted to continue the case, and we objected. When the State moved to dismiss so they could merely re-file the case on a later date, we asked the judge to dismiss the case “with prejudice.” That motion was granted. The State then moved for a motion to reconsider and they were denied. Ms. R. was facing a possibility of up to six months in jail.

State v. Ms. K (DMC No.)

State v. Ms. K. (University Lakes Justice Court No. TR2006-157020CR): Ms. K. was pulled over because an independent witness called police and claimed she was swerving. When she was stopped, she told officers that somebody must have spiked her drink. She subsequently provided a breath test which revealed a .179 BAC. Due to the fact that we were able to convince the prosecutor that we had a reasonable chance of succeeding at trial based on somebody slipping the client a “mickey,” they reduced the charges from a 2nd offense Extreme DUI (thereby subjecting Ms. K. to 120 days in jail) down to a 1st offense Extreme DUI in which she served only 10 days in jail.-crimes”>click here.

State vs. Mr. S. (DMC No. 10070)

DISMISSED | CRIMINAL NUISANCE – State vs. Mr. S. (DMC No. 10070) (University Lakes Justice Court No. 2010-152518): Mr. S. was in the City of Tempe late at night when he had been partying with friends. He was extremely intoxicated and was cited urinating into a garbage can while two females walked by and vehicular traffic was nearby. He was subsequently charged with a more serious charge of Criminal Nuisance (versus Urination in Public) and a conviction would have gotten him thrown out of school and potentially cost him his job. We were able to convince the prosecutor to allow Mr. S. to enroll in an alcohol treatment program in exchange for a Dismissal of all charges.

State v. Mr. M. (DMC No. 7228)

REDUCED | DUI – State v. Mr. M. (DMC No. 7228) (University Lakes Justice Court No. TR2007-107320): Mr. M was observed making a wide right turn on University Dr. off of Rural Rd. After being stopped, the officer had Mr. H perform Field Sobriety Tests and claimed that he was impaired. Once he was given a breath test it revealed that he was only a .071 Breath Alcohol Content. We were able to convince the Prosecutor that they would lose at trial, and they extended a 0 days in jail Reckless Driving offer.

State v. Mr. M. (DMC No. 7164)

REDUCED | EXTREME DUI – State v. Mr. M. (DMC No. 7164) (University Lakes Justice Court No. TR2007-101101): REDUCED to Regular DUI Mr. M. was stopped for allegedly travelling 90mph on Baseline and Elliot Roads. After he was arrested, he provided a Breath Alcohol Content of .166. What was unusual about this case is that the stop occurred on Dec. 24th, but the report was not written until Jan. 7th. In addition, Mr. M spoke primarily Spanish, yet the DMV paperwork was read to him in English. We were able to convince the Prosecutor to offer a Regular DUI with 1 day in jail instead of a potential 30 days in jail.

February 5, 1999 By dmcantor 200 DUI / Vehicular Crime Victories, 6 Extreme DWI Reduced, Case Victories, University Lakes Justice Court Victories

State v. Mr. S. (DMC No. 7306)

REDUCED | EXTREME DUI – State v. Mr. S. (DMC No. 7306) (University Lakes Justice Court No. TR2007-124818): Mr. S was pulled over making a wide turn from University to Rural Road in Tempe. Because this was during the East Valley DUI Task Force, he was subsequently arrested for DUI and transferred to the Gilbert Command Center. He initially refused to take a breath test, and a warrant was obtained and his blood was drawn. His blood result revealed a .157 and he was cited for Extreme DUI. Due to the issues with the blood test which could allow us to show it was below the Extreme DUI limit, we received an offer to a regular DUI and 1 day in jail instead of a potential 30.
