Assault and Disorderly Conduct ARS 13-2904 (Scottsdale) -Dismissed at Trial- 1/30/17
Back to all DUI & Criminal Defense Case Results
This was a great Disorderly Conduct case in Scottsdale. The alleged victim called the police because she was disturbed by my client when she accused him of arguing with his friends in the roadway. We were actually offered a very favorable plea to diversion. With this plea, if my client finished an 8 hour class, his case would be dismissed. The issue was that entering a diversion plea was exactly like being found guilty in the eyes of immigration. We could not accept the offer. We eventually learned that this woman was addicted to pain pills and moved numerous times. It was a tactical adhesion to set this case to trial thinking the witness would not she. She did not appear and the case was dismissed. My client can now become a US citizen.
