State v. Mr. F (2017)

Practice Area:Criminal Law/ DUI

Date:June 20, 2017

Description: Maricopa Municipal Court: Mr. F was alleged to have committed a first time regular DUI by Drugs (specifically marijuana), Possession of Marijuana, and Possession of Drug Paraphernalia, after being stopped by Maricopa Police after an alleged traffic violation. The Maricopa police officer alleged that he found Mr. F in possession of marijuana and drug paraphernalia. If found guilty, Mr. F would have been required to serve jail time, would have lost his driving privileges for one year, complete substance abuse  classes, and pay a fine. Mr. Goebel was able to convince the prosecutor to allow Mr. F to complete substance abuse classes and complete community service hours which facilitated a reduced plea offer to Reckless Driving. This prevented Mr. F from having a DUI or any drug convictions on his record
