On August 13, 2011, the Defendant was stopped by a Florida Highway Patrol Trooper after an accident. The Trooper issued the Defendant a criminal violation of attaching a tag not assigned after the Defendant spontaneously admitted to putting a tag that did not belong on the vehicle involved in the crash. The Trooper also issued a criminal violation for operating a vehicle without registration. The firm was able to convince the State to dismiss both of the criminal charges against the Defendant.
