DISMISSED | POSSESSION of DRUG PARAPHERNALIA – State v. Mr. M. (DMC No. 7389) (Youngtown Magistrate Court CR2007-127): Mr. M. was parked on a 112th Avenue in Youngtown, Arizona when police pulled up behind him. They saw that he was sitting in the vehicle with a friend and had a “bong” on the front seat. They asked him if he had any marijuana and he was honest with them. Because he was honest, they only cited him with Possession of Drug Paraphernalia. We became involved in the case and explained to the Prosecutor that a conviction on Mr. M.’s record would have serious repercussions with his current job. They agreed to dismiss all charges in exchange for Mr. M. attending some educational classes.
