Lawrence District Court: Police responded to a report of two people shooting up drugs in a hospital parking lot. The prosecution alleged that a security officer approached our client, the driver, and found him holding a syringe in one hand and a clear baggie containing a brown substance believed to be heroin in the other. When police arrived, they observed a clear baggie in the in the driver’s side door. Police found another baggie containing a brown substance in our client’s pocket, totaling approximately 7 grams of suspected heroin. He was charged with possession of heroin, possession with intent to distribute heroin , and a school zone violation. Denise Dolan of our office convinced the prosecution to dismiss the intent to distribute and school zone charges outright and to dismiss the possession charge upon payment of court costs.
