REDUCED | POSSESSION of DANGEROUS DRUGS FOR SALE (Ecstasy)/POSSESSION of MARIJUANA FOR SALE and POSSESION OF DANGEROUS DRUGS REDUCED to POSSESSION of MARIJUANA class 6 open/Misdemeanor with PROBATION and ZERO DAYS in JAIL – State v. Mr. D. (DMC No. 8792) (La Paz County Superior Court CR2008-00415): Mr. D. was pulled over on the I-10 at approximately Mile Post 32 in Quartzsite, Arizona. He was accused of travelling 87 in a 75 mph zone. The officer claimed he could smell a strong odor of marijuana, and he had everybody removed from the car and searched it. He located 99 pills of ecstasy along with 40 grams of marijuana. Because there was no consent to the search, and there was no search warrant obtained, we were able to convince the Prosecutor to drop the serious Drugs for Sale charges in exchange for a simple Possession of Marijuana charge which became a Misdemeanor at conclusion of probation. Originally, Mr. D. was facing over 10 years in prison.
