Lomita, Felony Possesion of Marijuana for Sales, Dimissed, Attorney Success # 3

Our client, a Hispanic male, was arrested after Lomita Sherriffs deemed his car’s tinted windows were possibly in violation of the law.  

The sheriffs ran a search on the car’s license plate and determined that the car was owned by a Hispanic male with an outstanding warrant.  Our client was then asked him to step out of the vehicle and produce his driver’s license, vehicle registration and auto insurance.  

The sheriffs next advised our client that he was not the registered owner of the vehicle, but they decided to arrest him and tow his car because he had three previous citations for driving without a license.  Moreover, when the officers searched our client’s pants, they allegedly discovered marijuana in the pockets, along with $400.  

At the time of our client’s arrest he was on probation for a further driving without a license case. 

Our client was charged with one charge of Possession of a Controlled Substance (Health & Safety Code Section 11377(a)), a misdemeanor, Marijuana Possession for the Purpose of Sale (Health & Safety Code Section 11359(a)), a felony, and Driving Without a License (Vehicle Code Section 12500), a misdemeanor.

Greg Hill & Associates arranged to consolidate our client’s probation violation case and the case involving the above charges.  Greg Hill then negotiated a dismissal of both the felony and misdemeanor marijuana possession charges at the arraignment and later arranged a plea bargain wherein our client pled no contest to Driving Without a License count only.  According to the plea bargain, our client was required to pay a fine of $160 and perform 30 days Cal-Trans labor within 6 months.

Had our client fought his case at trial and been found guilty, he faced a maximum of 4 years in prison.
