Charges: School Bus Stop Arm Violation – Misdemeanor
Resolution:
Stay of adjudication. The State had clear evidence of the alleged violation and it should have been charged as a gross misdemeanor due to the presence of children outside the bus. Undeterred, the North Star team negotiated this fantastic result to ensure the client does not create a criminal record from this traffic offense. Knowing the nuances of the law, having great relationships with the prosecutor, and having a knack for crafting creative negotiation tactics pays off once again for a deserving client.
