Charges of Possession of a Class C Drug and Operating Uninsured and Unregistered Motor Vehicle Dismissed

The defendant is a senior in college who was in Massachusetts visiting in September of 2020. Police in a Boston suburb, while on routine patrol observed a car travelling 50 miles per hour in a 30 mile per hour zone. Officers ran the vehicle registration and learned that it has been revoked for not being inspected or insured. The officers confronted the driver who was alone. He made clear that he was insured and that he had an inspection appointment scheduled for a day later that week. Nevertheless he was told that he could not drive the car at that time. The police then called for a tow of the vehicle. Pursuant to a motor vehicle inventory search they located a bag of mushrooms, a class C drug in Massachusetts. The defendant was then arrested and charged with unlawful possession of a class C drug under G.L. c. 94C section 34, operating with a revoked or suspended registration pursuant to G.L. c. 90 section 23 and operating uninsured in violation of G.L. c. 90 section 34J.
