1. “"A dismissal of the felony count does not remove the circuit court's jurisdiction over a misdemeanor count when the misdemeanor count arises from the same incident as the felony count. [§ 12-11-30(2), Ala.Code 1975; Casey v. State, 740 So.2d 1136 (Ala.Crim.App.1998)]. Because the misdemeanor count arose from the same incident as the felony count, the circuit court retained its jurisdiction when the State elected to proceed under the misdemeanor count."”
