FAQ
If you believe you have been the victim of a crime, you can file a Criminal complaint online at .azag/complaints OR mail or deliver the completed form below. This form can be completed on the computer or is available to download and print. Please print legibly if completing by hand.
Unlawful Imprisonment, as mentioned, is a serious offense. Arizona law considers the crime a class 6 felony, meaning, if convicted, the accused faces at least a year in state prison. First time offenders sentenced to incarceration usually receive a one-year sentence, actually spending six months in prison.
A criminal complaint should include specific information about the alleged offense, such as the date, time, and location of the incident, a description of the events, and the names or descriptions of the individuals involved. It should also include any supporting evidence or documentation available.
Criminal complaints are normally first started with the application for a complaint, along with an affidavit by the complainant, which is titled an affidavit of probable cause. The judge examines the statements in the application and affidavit.
The Commission accepts electronically submitted complaints where the complainant uses the Commission's complaint form, attaches a PDF copy of that form to an e-mail, and sends the e-mail to the Commission at cjc@courts.az.
DIAL 911. If this is an emergency, or a crime, please dial 911 immediately.
Seeking justice often motivates pressing charges. Filing charges ensures perpetrators are held accountable, potentially leading to imprisonment or fines. This formal recognition of harm provides a sense of justice, validating the victim's experience.
In Arizona, misdemeanor crimes have a statute of limitations of one (1) year. That means that the prosecutor must bring misdemeanor charges against you within one year of the date of the crime. If not, then you can't be prosecuted.
False Imprisonment Defenses. Consent, justification, and self-defense or defense of others are all defenses to hostage false imprisonment.
