In the spring of 2023 our client was pulled over by a police officer who, after conducting a random query, learned that our client was operating with a suspended driver’s license. Our client had no idea that his license had been suspended. Apparently, his identity had been stolen and someone using this information in another state was the root of the problem. Our client argued with the police officer who, in retaliation, arrested him. Our client was searched and processed without incident. After the booking process was completed, the officer found over 70 grams of cocaine on the floor in his cruiser right in front of the spot where our client was sitting. He was initially charged with trafficking cocaine in violation of G.L. c. 94C section 32E. We convinced the district attorney’s office to break the case down to possession with intent to distribute, G.L. c. 94 C section 32A and keep the case in the district court. Today, Attorney Neyman was able to get the case dismissed.
