Law enforcement suspected our client of being a drug dealer. In a coordinated effort that included authorities from the State Department of Criminal Investigation, police targeted the client with a plan to arrest him and search his vehicle. Police followed him in his car and waited for him to violate a traffic law. Authorities ultimately stopped him for speeding, searched his vehicle and found several jars filled with more than 100 grams of marijuana. Prosecutors filed a criminal drug charge against the client. In a negotiated resolution, Attorney Tim Verhoff brokered a deal in which the client entered a plea to the misdemeanor charge of possessing marijuana. The judge ordered him to complete 32 community service hours, but authorized the expungement of the case upon the client's completion of the community service and payment of court costs.
