State v. Mr. M (DMC No. 5699)

NOT CHARGED | MISCONDUCT with WEAPON (prohibited possessor)/POSSESSION of DANGEROUS DRUGS and MARIJUANA NOT CHARGED – State v. Mr. M. (DMC No. 5699) (White Tank Justice Court TR05-00443): Mr. M. was observed driving in a truck on State Route 101, when he drifted into the “Gore Point”. The officer pulled him over, discovered several passengers in the car with Mr. M. Mr. M. was subsequently arrested for extreme DUI and produced a .230 BAC. Inside of the truck, a gun was found under the seat along with marijuana and anabolic steroids. Mr. M. invoked his right to remain silent. We were able to convince the Prosecutor that the gun, marijuana and steroids could have belonged to any of the people in the vehicle. They agreed to not press those charges, and eventually allowed Mr. M. to plead to only an extreme DUI with just 10 days in jail. Mr. M. would have been facing 3 to 6 years in prison for being a “prohibited possessor” if he were charged and convicted.

State v. Ms. E (DMC No.)

DISMISSED | UNDERAGE DRINKING – (White Tank Justice Court JC201102129) Ms. E was at the University of Phx stadium, celebrating with her family before the college football championship game. Police cited her for underage drinking. At her trial, we got her portable breath test result thrown out by the Judge. Then we got her admission to drinking thrown out as a coerced statement to the police. Finally, we successfully argued that the odor of alcohol the officer claimed he smelled off of her was insufficient evidence to convict her. The Judge agreed and ruled that Ms. E was not guilty.

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

REDUCED | DUI (White Tank Justice Court No.: 03-03062CR): Mr. F. was accused of trying to steal a traffic cone while leaving the Phoenix International Raceway. When police contacted him, he had an odor of alcohol and performed poorly on field sobriety tests.

At the Evidentiary Hearing for coerced blood draw, the state offered a plea to a reckless driving with zero days in jail.

State v. Mr. S (DMC No. 5741)

SUPER EXTREME DUI (.236 BAC) REDUCED to REGULAR DUI with 1 DAY JAIL – State v. Mr. S. (DMC No. 5741) (White Tank Justice Court TR04-54197CR): Mr. S. was stopped due to a 911 call reporting a reckless driver. When police contacted him inside a McDonald’s parking lot, he was urinating next to his car. He was subsequently arrested, and provided a blood test which produced a .236 BAC. While at the station he asked to call his lawyer, but he was told there was no phone or phonebook, and that if he had a number then they would provide him a phone. Due to the potential “denial of right to counsel” issue the Prosecutor offered a regular DUI with 1 day in jail. Mr. S. was originally facing 45 days in jail.
