25********2

Our client was stopped for speeding going 18mph over the speed limit. Upon being stopped, officers said they noticed an extremely strong smell of burnt marijuana. Officers also stated they smelled an odor of an alcoholic beverage coming from our client’s breath. Officers also noted that our client had red bloodshot eyes and slurred speech. They asked our client where he was coming from and our client admitted that he was at a local bar. Officers later say they located a “marijuana roach” and marijuana in the center console of the car. Officers also located a half full cup of rum and coke. Our client participated in roadside exercises where officers noted that he failed to perform them as instructed based on a number of observations. Later, our client was asked for breath sample to measure his blood alcohol content as well as a urine sample to look for chemical and/or controlled substances in his urine. Our client provided both breath and urine. He then hired us and we immediately began working on the case. After months of discussions with the State Attorney advancing legal and factual arguments, as well as discussion and review of the toxicology results, the State Attorney entered a nolle pros in this client’s case and all criminal charges were dismissed.
