Combs Waterkotte represented an Imperial woman in Jefferson County Circuit Court on a charge of child endangerment. Prosecutors alleged our client aided and encouraged her son’s girlfriend to skip school and subsequently lied to law enforcement about the girl’s whereabouts after a missing persons report was made. Prosecutors refused to offer our client an acceptable plea offer. Accordingly, we proceeded to trial and our client was found NOT GUILTY of all charges.
