Our client was charged with possession of a controlled substance, after he was pulled over for speeding, and the cop searched his car. The substance was dab, a highly concentrated form of weed. His mom immediately called Temani. After reviewing the surveillance video from the officer’s car, Temani immediately knew there was an issue with the search.
While the possession of a controlled substance case was still pending, our client was pulled over again. A small amount of marijuana was found in his car, and he was arrested. Being arrested for a new offense, while on bond, normally results in a higher bond amount, or the judge throwing the person in jail for a few days. This didn’t happen for our client.
After Temani brought up the search issue to the prosecutor, he immediately wanted to make a deal. The prosecutor had originally offered to place our client on felony deferred adjudication probation. After the search issue was brought to his attention, we came to the agreement that he would dismiss our client’s new marijuana charge, and reduce the felony case to a misdemeanor. Our client was placed on a short term probation, and his charge will be dismissed once he completes it.
