    Charges Reduced

    Off-Duty Sheriff’s Deputy Arrested for Pointing His Gun at Two Individuals During Verbal Argument

    We conducted our own investigation and presented our findings to the prosecutor. As a result, the assault with a gun charge was dismissed.

    1st Case Dismissed, 2nd Case Reduced

    A Registered Nurse Arrested Twice for Possession with Intent to Sell

    Nurse was arrested for possession with intent to sell marijuana. While on bail for this case, the nurse was arrested again for possession with intent to sell cocaine.

    The marijuana case and the “out on bail allegation” were dismissed. That alone saved the Nurse from a substantial jail sentence.
