Trafficking charges against Salem woman dismissed

Salem District Court # 04-4351. A Salem woman charged with trafficking a class A substance retained Attorney Stephen Neyman to defend her. The police obtained information that the defendant, a paralegal, was receiving packages containing large quantities of narcotics at her place of employment. Armed with a search warrant the police entered the office and seized a package addressed to the defendant. The package contained controlled substances. A few days later, again pursuant to a search warrant, police entered the office and located another package. Attorney Neyman succeeded in having the trafficking charges dismissed and the case was disposed of by continuing the case without a finding to so much of the complaint as charged possession. All charges will be formally dropped if the defendant remains free from all criminal legal problems for the next 18 months.
