What I have not seen are details on the crimes and if any were originally felonies plead down to misdemeanors..

They were all traffic violations: http://www.kare11.com/news/investigations/kare-11-investigates-racial-profiling-in-minnesota/266814958

Those records show Castile had 79 different charges – all of them vehicle and traffic stop related. More than half of them – 48 – eventually were dismissed.

Castile was found guilty 31 times of misdemeanors or petty misdemeanors. The charges included driving on a suspended license, no proof of insurance, and seatbelt and parking violations.

None of Castile’s charges or convictions involve guns, violence, threats against or fleeing police.

I don't know if that equates to 79 separate traffic stops, but if so, that's a lot! One can collect multiple charges from one stop, but even so, I'd say it's still a lot. Seems strange, to me, and something to be explained.
