NOT CHARGED | POSSESSION OF COCAINE – State v. Mr. R. (Maricopa County) (DMC No. 2078): Mr. R. was pulled over for a minor traffic violation and the officer asked to search his person. When he patted him down (looking for weapons), he found an envelope which contained cocaine. Because the search exceeded the standard Terry search, we were able to suppress the cocaine and convinced the Maricopa County Attorney’s Office that no charges should be brought against Mr. R.
