Violation: Attempted Aggravated Burglary
Results: Pre-Trial Diversion on Misdemeanor Criminal Trespass (no criminal record)
Additional Details: Our client was arrested after going to the home of a prior girlfriend and started to remove the screen in order to gain access to the home. Our client was charged with attempted aggravated burglary. Our investigation was able to show that, while the client did attempt to remove the screen, he terminated the attempt on his own accord. The matter only came to the attention of authorities after the family returned home from a vacation. After completing our investigation, obtaining appropriate counseling for the client as to his reasons for making the attempt to enter the home, and compiling his current college transcripts and accomplishments, an agreement was reached entering into a pre-trial diversion on a misdemeanor charge of criminal trespass. As a result, the client received no criminal record or supervised probation.
