Charges of Second Offense Cocaine Distribution and Conspiracy Dismissed After Successful Motion to Suppress

The defendant has multiple drug convictions and is known as a major cocaine distributor. In December of 2018 police had him under surveillance after receiving information from an informant that he had been delivering large quantities of cocaine to smaller scale local dealers. The informant’s tips proved valuable. Our client was observed making several deliveries consistent with the predictions of the informant. After the last delivery was made surveillance officers stopped the purchaser. This individual immediately confessed to having bought from our client. Security videotape corroborated the witness statement and the police observations. Our client was stopped and searched as was his car. Officers found cutting agents, scales and money as well as cocaine residue. The packaging materials matched the packages seized from the purchase. Our client was charged with second offense distribution of cocaine under G.L. c. 94S section 32A and conspiracy, G.L. c. 94C section 40. Attorney Neyman was hired. Discovery delays and the pandemic slowed this case however today we prevailed on our motion to suppress. All drugs seized were excluded. The district attorney was then unable to proceed and the judge allowed our motion to dismiss the case.
