State v. M.J.

August, 2015
Charges: Gross misdemeanor driving after cancellation - inimical to public safety (DAC-IPS) and misdemeanor failure to drive a vehicle equipped with an ignition interlock device

Stay of adjudication to misdemeanor charge, the DAC-IPS charge was dismissed. After one year of unsupervised probation, paying minimal prosecution costs, and having no same or similar offenses, this entire case will be dismissed without any record of a conviction. This is great result in that the client will not further hurt her driver's license status because of this incident and can continue progressing towards getting a fully valid license. A conviction to either of these charges would have resulted in a longer loss of license and negated any progress she had made to date.
