On March 5, 2023 in Groveland, client was stopped for the passenger headlight being out and going 70 mph in a 55 mph zone.

Cannabis smoke came from the vehicle and the officer saw ashes. PASSENGER Raul Castero smelled of cannabis. There was cannabis inside a clear plastic bag inside a book back in the trunk and a vape pen. 24.6 grams cannabis, THC oil. Client didn’t say anything post-miranda and no identification in the bag in the trunk as to whose bag it was. Passenger claimed that it wasn’t his, but passenger smelled of cananbis, not client. Attorney met with client and went over evidentiary issues that the State has in proving the case. State ultimately dropped the charges as they can’t prove the case!
