Our client was on probation for commercial burglary from 2013. We represented our client on his new/open case, which involved the police executing a search warrant. The warrant stated that a confidential reliable informant purchased methamphetamine from the defendant at defendant's residence. During the search, the police recovered methamphetamine, over two dozen empty baggies, a scale with residue on it, two firearms, our clients vehicle that had a modified hidden compartment, $800. 00, three methamphetamine pipes, a surveillance camera, Alprazolam (a controlled substance), concentrated cannabis, Carisoprodal (a controlled substance). Due to prefiling work (phone calls to the detective, DA, defendant, defendant's family, submitting paperwork/documents),we avoided a possession for sales charge. At the arraignment, although he was still charged with two felonies and three misdemeanors, our defense attorney was able to reason with the DA to give defendant deferred entry of judgment (DEJ). He will do a 3 month drug program, and be on informal probation for 18 months. As long as our client successfully completes the program, and stays out of trouble, the case will be dismissed in 18 months.
