The state’s case for assault with a deadly weapon against Miguel Alphonse was dismissed yesterday, Jan. 11, 2013 for want of prosecution.

The state failed to produce the virtual complainant on several occasions.  As a result, Magistrate Charon Gardner had no choice but to dismiss the state’s case.

In another matter, the case against Feran Leon was also dismissed.  Leon, who was charged with cultivation of a controlled plant and possession of a controlled drug failed to appear in court on several occasions.  Additionally, the prosecution was not in a position to proceed with the matter within the allocated time frame.
