Drug Offense-Possession Class B
May 21, 2012OUTCOME: Dismissed
Having almost completed probation on a first offense OUI, my client was arrested when member of the Sutton police department executed a search warrant at a friend’s house. My client was found to be in ... possession of oxycodone. Prior the probation violation hearing, I spoke to his probation officer and was informed that he had, for the most part, completed everything that was required of him during the 1 year except for the new charge. I had him take a drug test in anticipation of the pre trial hearing on his new offense. The prosecutor recommended he be placed on probation for 1 year. I argued that it should only be 6 months since he had already completed 1 year. The judge dismissed the reprobation violation upon payment of court costs and placed him on unsupervised probation for 6 months with the case being dismissed if he successfully finished probation.
