During the stop, officers smelled Marijuana. My client admitted he had the weed. Officers began to search and ultimately found the weed.
We were able to show that the officers had no valid reason to pull my client over. If the stop is illegal and is thrown out, everything they find as a result gets thrown out as well.
Good day for my client!
