DUI & Criminal Division

Our Client was arrested and booked into the County Jail for driving while license suspended, a misdemeanor; however, the officer wrote the citation for driving while license was permanently revoked, a felony.  The officer then amended all the paperwork to match the citation, so everything alleged a felony.  Rather than being sent to circuit court, which has jurisdiction over felonies, everything was sent to county court, which only has jurisdiction over misdemeanors.  Knowing the county court had no jurisdiction to try our client, we set the case for trial.  Prior to being called up for trial, speedy trial expired, so the State could not amend the charge from a felony to a misdemeanor.  Since our Client’s license was suspended, not permanently revoked, the State was forced to drop the case when we were called up for trial.
