Our client was a passenger in a vehicle that was stopped by Lake City Police Department for failure to wear a seat belt. The vehicle was owned by our client but used and driven at the time of the stop by an employee. The officers had a K-9 do a narcotics sniff of the vehicle. A pill and residue were located in a cup in the back seat console of the vehicle. Our client had no prior knowledge of the substance, however, was arrested for constructive possession of controlled substances.
As soon as our attorneys received the case, they went to work on our client’s behalf. Based on what our attorneys were told by the client, the attorneys immediately emailed the State in reference to the case and insufficient evidence for the charges. Our client even took a hair follicle test to provide to the State to show that he did not use controlled substances. Once the State was able to confirm what our attorneys had been saying, and the State filed a No Information dismissing the charges.
