MDMA Conspiracy Expunged, Dane County

After receiving information from the Department of Homeland Security and Customs and Border Patrol about a suspicious package destined for Madison from JFK International Airport, local law enforcement set up a drug sting. Through the investigation, law enforcement determined that 262 grams of MDMA was being mailed to a home in Madison from a location in Slovenia. Our client, who lives more than 100 miles away from Madison, was arrested in the sting after the Madison homeowner who received the package contacted him and asked him to come to retrieve the package delivered to her home. The Dane County District Attorney's Office initially charged our client with conspiracy to deliver designer drugs, a Class C Felony, carrying a penalty of up to 40 years in prison. Our Attorney, Tim Verhoff, worked the case and was able to convince the prosecutor to amend the charge to a substantially lesser offense that could be expunged. The case was resolved short of trial with the judge approving an agreement for an expunction of the case upon the client's successful completion of a probationary period. Needless to say, the client, who had no prior criminal record, was quite relieved to get a second chance at a clean record.
