Stolen Stop Sign and DUI

[jbone7]

My question involves criminal law for the state of: Kansas

Some of my friends were walking home from bars one night and one of my friends found a stop sign laying in someones yard. He picked it up and then threw it in some bushes and an undercover cop caught saw him. The cop arrested him and then cited him for stolen property as a felony charge. Obviously, he didn't steal it and had about 3 witnesses, and the cops wrote on the citation that there were no witnesses. Anyone have any suggestions that might help his case.

Also, he was picked up for DUI just recently too. This is his first DUI. I was wondering how this may affect the stolen stop sign case and any suggestions will be appreciated. Thank you!

He says he has three witnesses. He should introduce them to his criminal defense lawyer. While he's at it, he can bring up the drunk driving offense.
