Possession With Intent to Distribute Class D, School Zone Violation Dismissed Against College Student

Wrentham District Court: The prosecution alleged that on September 16, 2011 local college campus police were dispatched to a dorm for a complaint of loud noise and a student being locked out of his room. Upon arrival the officers detected the odor of fresh marijuana. The officers knocked on the door and the students inside the room gave the police permission to enter. The odor of marijuana increased upon their entry. Stems and seeds were in plain view. Officers continued a search throughout the room and noticed a duffel bag with a ziplock bag sticking out. Torn baggies were found, a scale and a box cutter. A safe was also located and permission to open and search the safe was given. Inside the safe was a larger quantity of marijuana contained in several equally weighed packages. Charges of Possession With Intent to Distribute Class D and a School Zone Violation were filed. Attorney Neyman was hired. Today, the felony charges were dismissed and a lesser charge of simple possession was continued without a finding.
