Low Bail, $500 Set on Heroin Trafficking Case

The defendant is a Boston man known to local authorities for drug dealing activities. He has a fairly significant criminal record and was recently in default for his arraignment for this case, a heroin trafficking case. Attorney Neyman was hired to remove the default and represent him on the underlying charge. The prosecution alleged in part that after a routine traffic stop police officers saw packages of heroin in plain view. They inquired about the bags at which point the defendant struck the officers, sped off, got into an accident and tossed the drugs. Although he evaded immediate arrest his identity was known to the officers. Heroin trafficking charges and other felonies were filed. A warrant issued. Today, Attorney Neyman went into court with the man and after a bail hearing was able to get him released on $500 cash bail. The prosecution asked for $75,000 thousand. The man posted the bail immediately and is now released.
