Unlawful Drug Possession, MOTION TO SUPPRESS ALLOWED, CASE DISMISSED

January 30th 2008
Unlawful Drug Possession
Client was sitting in his vehicle at Walgreens when police were called by an "anonymous tipster" claiming he was selling prescription drugs. When police pulled him over, they did in fact find that he had narcotics. Attorney Barabino challenged the constitutionality of the stop by police since the "tipster" was not properly identified. After the hearing, the judge filed his decision supporting Attorney Barabino's theory. The drugs were suppressed and the case was ultimately dismissed.
RESULT: Motion to Suppress, ALLOWED, CASE DISMISSED.
