Back to Ellensburg

Ellensburg charge is display of dangerous weapon for open carrying on May 22nd. The citation wasn't issued against Jason until after he turned in a complaint on June 1st about the police stop and harassment. This could lead to a dismissal on grounds of it being a retaliatory citation. Also it is a city code Jason has been cited under which has been preempted by state law, so there is another grounds for dismissal. We hope to get this case dismissed at the next trial date in Ellensburg, Feb, 3rd, at 9am. Jason does not have a lawyer for this case. Lawyers he has talked to say that it looks to be a fairly clear cut grounds for dismissal, but Jason wants to insure that the procedural side of these dismissals are done correctly. If we do hire a lawyer they would want to prepare for the worst, (a full blown trial), so are asking for a large chunk of change to even represent Jason for the dismissal.
