CHARGE: POSSESSION OF COCAINE
POSSESSION OF AMPHETAMINE
POSSESSION OF CANNABIS
DRUG PARAPHERNALIA
Client was arrested for drug charges after being a passenger in a vehicle with other
occupants that committed a traffic infraction. Police found drugs in the driver’s vehicle
so they conducted a search of all the occupants and vehicle and found drugs in a
purse supposedly belonging to client. In speaking with the prosecutor, we discussed
issues of constructive possession due where the purse was found in close proximity to
the other occupants. In addition, we contested the drugs that were found in the car
and the State dismissed the case prior to charges being filed due to there being an
unreasonable likelihood of success on the merits of the case.
