Drug Conspiracy Charges Dismissed and Felony Distribution Charges Reduced to Possession and Continued Without a Finding

The defendant is a private investigator licensed in several states. In June of this year state police working in an undercover capacity were watching some parking lots off of Route 495 known for frequent incidents of drug distribution activity. Acting on a tip from a known reliable informant the offers observed our client waiting in a pickup truck consistently using his phone for texting and calls. After about twenty minutes the officers observed an infamous drug distributor park and enter our client’s truck. The officers observed movements consistent with the transfer of objects. The manner of this activity along with defendant’s texting and calling suggested that the parties were meeting up for a drug deal. Once the dealer left our client’s car the distributor and our client left, driving in opposite directions. Officers followed each. They stopped the known dealer who was found in possession of a significant amount of drugs, Class B. He indicated that he purchased the drugs from our client. The defendant was then stopped and found in possession of a large quantity of cash along with a large quantity of class D and C drugs. He was charged with Possession With Intent to Distribute Class D and C in violation of G.L. c. 94C Sections 32C and 32B respectively. He was also charged with Conspiracy under G.L. c. 94C Section 40 and Distribution of Class D under G.L. c. 94C Section 32C. The defendant is a private investigator and any conviction or admission to a charge of more than simple possession would likely result in his license being suspended or revoked. He hired Attorney Neyman to defend him. Today, the conspiracy and possession with intent charges were dismissed. The distribution charge was reduced to simple possession and continued without a finding for sixty days. The case will be dismissed.
