Brighton District Court: On May 17, 2011 members of the Boston Police Department Drug Control Unit witnessed our client, a local nursing student, smoking marijuana in a car with a person later identified as her boyfriend. The woman was the driver of the car. Officers approached the vehicle and conducted a threshold inquiry. The woman told the officers that the remainder of the marijuana was in her purse. She gave them permission to search. During the course of the search officers located several pill vials of a Class “E” substance. The substance was prescription drugs, prescribed to someone other than the occupants of the car. The police formed the opinion that the drugs were for distribution purposes and the woman was charged with Possession With the Intent to Distribute Drugs and a School Zone Violation. Today, at a Clerk’s Hearing Attorney Neyman was able to prevent a complaint from issuing. All charges will be dismissed.
