22CF****50 – Drug Case Dropped

Officers approached our client after a suspected collision with another vehicle. The Officer later conducted an investigation and searched our client’s car. During the search the Officer located a bag of cocaine next to the driver’s seat of the vehicle. In the State of Florida, possession of any amount of cocaine is a felony punishable by up to 5 years in prison. Our attorneys began working on the case and found that the State did not have enough evidence to prove our client was in possession of the cocaine. Our attorneys spoke with the prosecutors and presented legal argument as to why the State did not have enough evidence against our client to support a conviction for possession of cocaine. The State eventually conceded that it was unlikely that they could prove that our client possessed cocaine and dropped the felony charge against our client.
