Drug Possession Charge Against School Teacher Dismissed Prior to Arraignment

On May 22, 2015 members of the Quincy, Massachusetts police department were dispatched to an address for a report of a suspicious vehicle. The officers arrived at the reported location and saw a man sitting in a car looking down at his lap area. They approached the car and startled the occupant who appeared confused. He was unable to respond appropriately to simply commands. He was sweating profusely and he appeared to be under the influence of narcotics. After some brief questioning the man admitted to using smoking some meth. The officers then searched the car and found methamphetamine. The defendant, a school teacher was arrested and charged with possession of a class E drug in violation of Massachusetts General Laws Chapter 94C Section 34. The man hired Attorney Neyman to represent him. Knowing that an arraignment would possibly alert the school system of the man’s pending case the arraignment was continued. Today, our office was able to get the case dismissed prior to arraignment.
