Motion to Suppress Stop, Search and Seizure on OUI Drugs Case Allowed
The prosecution alleged that on December 12, 2014 a Massachusetts State Trooper saw a motor vehicle being driven by the defendant operating on a public way in Allston, Massachusetts. The officer observed the driver texting while he was driving in violation of G.L. c. 90 Section 13B. The officer stopped the vehicle and immediately detected a strong odor of marijuana. The defendant was asked to take field sobriety tests which he failed. He was arrested and made some inclupatory post-arrest statements. An inventory search of his car revealed the presence of recently consumed marijuana. The man was charged with OUI Drugs. Attorney Neyman was retained and filed a motion to suppress. Today, a hearing on that motion was heard and allowed. All evidence including the defendants statements were suppressed.
