Disorderly Conduct Charges Dropped After Damaging Elevator

A 35-year-old Veterans Hospital employee was charged with disorderly conduct when he and a colleague were jumping on an elevator, breaking a cable. With a concerned family, our client was referred by a friend and contacted attorney Samir Sarna for his help. The elevator was on federal property and the case was filed as a Federal Summary of Disorderly Conduct. The man kept his job and paid a $147 fine after splitting the cost with his colleague and because a fine was paid, the charges were completely withdrawn.

The outcome of an individual case depends on a variety of factors unique to that case. Case results do not guarantee or predict a similar result in any similar or future case.
