In an unfortunate misunderstanding, Kelly Keegan’s client was charged with Felony Second Degree Assault after a frightened pizza delivery person reported an attempted robbery to the Owatonna Police Department. Kelly’s client, who had opened his door holding a toy gun when the pizza arrived, was then aggressively confronted by the police in his home. The misunderstanding resulted in charges that would have dramatic consequences on her client’s life. In motions to the Court, Kelly asked that the prosecution’s evidence be suppressed because the search of her client’s home was improper. All charges were then dismissed against Kelly’s client. Ensuring that this incident could have no repercussions on her client’s life, Kelly then had records of the arrest and court case expunged.

When Kelly’s client drank for the first time one New Years Eve, she was subsequently pulled over and arrested for Driving While Impaired. She was later convicted of Misdemeanor Fourth Degree Driving with a Blood Alcohol Concentration of .08 or More.

Understanding the difficulties of expunging DWI records, Kelly presented a convincing case, and the judge ultimately granted the expungement. This will allow Kelly’s client to continue to serve her community without restriction.
