Charges of Possession With Intent to Distribute Marijuana Dismissed Prior to Arraignment

Our client owns a chain of fitness centers in Eastern Massachusetts. A few weeks ago he was involved in a confrontation with a patron at one of his gyms. The police responded to the scene. Hoping to avoid any bad publicity our client got into his car and started to drive away. Believing that our client had been involved in a fight he was immediately stopped by the police and interrogated about the incident. During the discussion officers observed a large bag of a green leafy substance in plain view. They took the drugs and weighed them. The weight was just over a pound and our client was charged with possession with intent to distribute marijuana, a class D drug. This is a crime under G.L. c. 94C section 32C. Our office was hired to defend the accused. Attorney Neyman contacted the investigating officer to discuss the matter. After some lengthy discussions the police agreed to a dismissal of all charges prior to arraignment.
