State of Florida v. J.O.

Outcome: Reduction in charge

Description: This case revolved around an anonymous tip that led the BSO Deputies to a warehouse in Pompano Beach FL. Upon getting to the warehouse, they dispatched a dog that alerted to a warehouse bay. They obtained a warrant and discovered over a kilo of cocaine among other dealing paraphernalia (scales, presses, baggies). The warehouse was registered in only the Defendants name. We filed a motion to suppress and argued the motion. The Motion was denied. However, during the Motion facts were brought out that made the State second think the charge, as well as the likelyhood of an appeal. They ended up waiving the 15 year min man associated with the charge and offered him 3 years probation on a simple possession. The Defendant successfully completed his probation.
