Case: Drug trafficker caught after freeway crash
Our client was intercepted by Police after crashing on the Calder Freeway. Police found methylamphetamine on him at the time and later searched his property, where more drugs were found. The total amount of meth was found to weigh 49 grams. Our client also breached his corrections order for drug trafficking, 2 months prior to this incident.
Charges/ Ch1 (Traffick Meth); Ch2 (Possess Meth); Ch3 (Possess ecstasy); Ch4 (Possess Viagra); Ch5 (Drug driving (Meth); Ch6 (Drive whilst suspended); Ch7 (Careless driving); Ch8 (Deal with money suspected of being proceeds of crime.)
Result/ Ch1 (Traffick Meth) withdrawn; Plea Guilty Ch2-8: 12 months license loss, Released from prison after 156 time served with a corrections order variation for the previous offending.
We negotiated with the prosecution to withdraw the drug trafficking charge over several months. Our client was already on a Corrections Order for drug trafficking, so having drug trafficking withdrawn saved our client over 1 year in jail if he plead guilty to that charge.
