Drug Possession Charge Reduced
Category: DrugsA father of two recently found himself in an awkward situation when he was stopped by the police in Xenia and charged with drug possession. A conviction would have a potentially devastating effect on his career. It also would have meant losing his driving privileges since any drug conviction in Ohio carries a mandatory six-month license suspension.
Embarrassed and scared, the man contacted Cincinnati Criminal Attorney Brad Groene for help. Groene reviewed the case and was able to point out facts to the prosecutor that supported a more lenient approach to the drug possession charge. There also were issues with evidence that might have worked against the prosecutor if the case went to trial.
In the end, Groene was able to get the drug possession charge amended to disorderly conduct. The man was able to avoid both a drug-related conviction and the mandatory driver’s license suspension.
