Charges Dropped, No Felony Conviction:
A Parking garage and Car Booting executive was charged with defrauding the City by lying about the number of cars booted daily which resulted in the city not receiving it’s fair portion of per car Booting. Search Warrants were served on our client’s office and home where ledgers seized showed the true number of cars Booted and the much lower number reported to the City. The State’s Attorney held a press conference outlining the alleged scheme. After the State offered a final plea agreement of several years in Prison, we presented a power point to the prosecutors demonstrating the ordinance requiring the per car Boot was passed by the City Commission illegally, was an illegal tax, there was no loss to the City and no crime committed. The State dropped 4 counts and our client plead to one count where he received a Withhold of Adjudication (No Conviction) and probation.
