NOT CHARGED | BURGLARY (Maricopa County) (DMC No. 4147): Mr. W. had prior issues with alcoholism. After living sober for quite a while, he “fell off the wagon” and was found breaking into cars in front of his new apartment and stealing various items. We were able to get Mr. W. into a Faith Based Rehab Program, and we provided numerous letters to the County Attorney’s Office on his behalf. The County Attorney’s Office agreed to route the case to the City Prosecutor’s Office for misdemeanor charges instead of felony charges. We then dealt with the City Prosecutor, who agreed to allow the 1 year statute of limitations run and bring no charges against Mr. W. because he had remained law-abiding for over 1 year.
