Possession of a Controlled Substance (Felony)

Location

Kendall County, 451st District Court

Allegations

Police stopped a vehicle carrying our client and another person. The officer reported the odor of marijuana, recovered contraband from the other occupant, and our client then disclosed a small amount of heroin on their person, leading to a felony charge. We scrutinized the basis for the stop and search and how the admission was obtained, and pressed the state on proof of possession. We also compiled treatment records and other mitigation the client completed and asked for time to present it. After negotiations, the state agreed to deferred probation, avoiding a conviction.
