Three crimes in Boise of note have been reported in the past week.
In today's paper Boise police arrested a young woman for failing to stop before entering an intersection. Although the paper did not say what was the probable cause for the search, the police searched her car and found two small plastic containers with white powder, reportedly methamphetamine. Undoubtedly, she will be charged with possession of drugs. The paper did not indicate if it was a felony charge or a misdemeanor charge. Boise Criminal Lawyers would have to question what caused the police to do the search in the first place. Did they have probable cause or did she give consent? It will be interesting for Boise Criminal Lawyers to see the outcome of this case.
Another crime reported today was a burglary and theft in Boise. A man was reported to be ontop of someone's carport without any shoes. He ducked into a car parked there and came out wearing different clothing. He was picked up walking down Broadway Ave. in Boise. The man was charged with both burglary and theft. Why both charges? A Boise Criminal Lawyer can tell you that this is one of those situations where an individual is charged with two of the substantially same crime. This is done because if it is shown that the man did not actually commit burglary, which requires a breaking and entering, he can still be found guilty of theft for taking something not belonging to him.
Yesterday's paper detailed a DUI charge in Boise on Sunday. The driver was charged with a DUI, eluding police and a felony parole violation. The DUI was charged as a misdemeanor because his BAC was under .08 and it was not his third DUI within 10 years. Boise Criminal Lawyers can tell you that the felony parole violation is a serious charge which may well land him back in prison. Often the terms of parole include that there is no consumption of alcohol. As a Boise DUI Lawyer I can tell you that the evidence of his DUI will be used as evidence that he violated his parole. In addition, as a Boise Criminal Lawyer I can tell you that any crime he commits is a violation of parole which can lead to his return to prison. Any prosecuting attorney would push for that and get it.
