Officers alleged that our Client got out of the passenger side of a car that had tinted windows was missing a front license plate. The Police approached for a field interview and performed a protective patdown of our Client for Officer safety. During the patdown, the Officer claimed he immediately felt a gun and knew it to be a gun based on his prior police experience. They also claimed that our Client admitted to finding the gun in a bush. During Preliminary Hearing, we argued that the State did not prove that our Client knew the serial numbers were scratched off and, therefore, the charges should be dismissed. The Judge agreed. All the charges were dismissed at the Preliminary Hearing. After losing during the Preliminary Hearing Stages of the case, the Prosecution decided to bring the case back up and indict our Client. We filed a Motion to Quash Arrest and Suppress Evidence on our Client's behalf. The Judge found that the Officer violated our Client's Constitutional rights and the case was dismissed.
