Traci pled no contest to dogs running at large, a violation of the Wadsworth Codified Ordinances. Traci was sentenced to seven days in the Wadsworth City Jail. On appeal, Wesley presented the case to the Ninth District Court of Appeals. The Court of Appeals reversed the conviction and remanded back to Wadsworth Municipal Court. After Wesley demanded a jury trial on Traci’s behalf the government dismissed the case against Traci.
