Drug Felony to Misdemeanor

On January 27, 2023, the client was pulled over for speeding (57 in a 45 zone). At the window, the car smelled of cannabis, but the client denied having any cannabis in the car. The officer ordered her from the car and searched it (i.e. probable cause that cannabis was present, automobile exception). As the client acted nervous, the client was placed in handcuffs. The officer found cannabis and a grinder in her purse. The bag weighed 28 grams and tested + for cannabis. The client obtained a medical marijuana card shortly thereafter. The State dismissed felony charges, though they may try to file as a misdemeanor.
