Charges of possession of marijuana against Junior A hockey player dismissed after clerk’s hearing
Lawrence District Court. On October 27, 2007 the defendant, a Junior A hockey player selected for a Division I scholarship next year was involved in a motor vehicle accident on Route 93 Northbound in Andover, Massachusetts. State Police responded to the scene. Upon their arrival they noticed the odor of burnt marijuana coming from the inside of the defendant’s vehicle. Upon further investigation the officer located and seized a quantity of marijuana from the defendant’s car. At a clerk’s hearing Attorney Neyman convinced the Clerk Magistrate not to issue a criminal complaint. Had a complaint issued it is likely that the defendant would have lost his scholarship offer.
