Drug Possession
Case Number : 35-2022-CF-003511-AXXX-XX
County : Lake
On December 5, 2022, hotel owner called police and asked them to evict any non-guests from client’s hotel room. Police then entered client’s hotel room over client’s objection (without a warrant), saw prescription medications for another person in the room, and arrested client for “drug possession.” Attorney filed motion to suppress as law for the past 50 years says police can’t enter a hotel room on the invitation of the hotel owner. Groveland PD apparently didn’t know this for some reason. State dismissed the case a few weeks before the hearing after reviewing the case law on the motion to suppress.
Date Resolved : APRIL 2023
OUTCOME: DISMISSED
