On December 4th, she paid a cash bond and was allowed to go home while the case moved forward. Things started picking up on December 12th when the discovery phase kicked off. This is simply the point where prosecutors hand over their evidence to the defense team. One detail stood out. A breath test result surfaced indicating that a breathalyzer had been given during the arrest, but only after the officer's body camera had already been switched off. After reviewing the case, the prosecutor chose to drop the resisting arrest charge entirely leaving DUI as the sole remaining issue. In the end, Marissa's case was resolved through a pre-trial diversion program rather than going to trial. As of now, the case is officially closed.
