DISMISSED | BURGLARY – (DMC No. 4237) (Hassayampa Justice Court No. A779026CR): Mr. R. was 4-wheeling in the desert when he came across a trailer with a new air compressor. Mr. R. did not take the air compressor, but was stopped by police when he was leaving the area. The police claimed he was in a private area and that a lock had been cut to the gate surrounding that large area of land. He was then charged with burglary. We were able to explain to the prosecutor that Mr. R. was simply on the property to go 4-wheeling, and was not there to commit crime. The prosecutor sent the case back to the detectives, who then decided not to pursue the case any further. All charges were dismissed.
