Pretrial Probation for Local Business Owner Charged With Possession of Class B Drug and Conspiracy to Violate Massachusetts Drug Laws

In September of 2020 members of a university police department were monitoring activity on campus consistent with drug sales. They contacted the city police department for assistance. Both agencies formed a surveillance operation during which they observed what they perceived to be drug transactions. During one of the deals the police saw our client, a local business owner seated in the passenger seat of a car buying drugs. After the deal was consummated, the police approached our client and found several oxycodone pills in his lap and on the floor of the car underneath where he was sitting. Our client was arrested and charged with possession of a class B drug pursuant to G.L. c. 94C section 34 and conspiracy to violate the Massachusetts drug laws under G.L. c. 94C section 40. Attorney Stephen Neyman was hired to defend this man. Today, the district attorney and the judge agreed with a pretrial probation disposition under G.L. c. 276 section 87. All charges will be officially dismissed in a few months.
