Pre-trial probation pursuant to M.G.L. c. 276 S87 imposed for juvenile caught selling marijuana in school

Lowell Juvenile Court. On April 14, 2009 a detective from a Middlesex County town was called to a local high school for a reported drug transaction. Upon arrival he met with the assistant principal who informed him that two girls witnessed our client, a fifteen year old sophomore provide marijuana to another student for money. The girls notified their teacher who in turn notified the assistant principal. The school administrators and the detective met with the defendant who admitted to selling drugs for another student who was supplying larger quantities of drugs to our client and other students. Our client was charged with distribution of marijuana in a school zone. Attorney Stephen Neyman succeeded in getting pre-trial probation for the client. All charges will be dismissed on his eighteenth birthday if he stays out of trouble until then.
