Client arrested after police arrive for bar fight that occurred earlier in evening. Police claimed a witness identified Client as one of the people involved in the fight. Police asked Client for ID; Client refused and did not talk to them. Police attempted “pat down” of Client, claiming Client was acting suspicious by refusing to identify himself and repeatedly putting his hands in his pockets. Client backed away from attempted pat down and was then tackled by police and arrested. THC and paraphernalia were found on Client’s person after the arrest. Attorney French filed a motion to suppress all physical evidence and several hearings were held.
REsults
Attorney French’s Motion to Suppress Physical Evidence was GRANTED. All charges subsequently dismissed by the State.
