Unlawful Possession of a Controlled Substance – ALL EVIDENCE THROWN OUT AFTER HEARING

Client was charged with possession heroin, cocaine and cannabis. Client was approached by Chicago Police Officers from the special tactical team at a McDonalds parking lot in Chicago. The officers claimed that my client was acting very suspiciously and tried walking away from them. The police also said the my client was making movements towards his front waist area of his pants and refused to show them his hands. The Chicago police officers searched my client and found 5 grams of heroin, 2 grams of cocaine and 25 grams of cannabis all in his waist band. Because of my clients background, the Prosecutor offered my client three (3) years in prison. I filed a motion to quash arrest and suppress evidence because I alleged that the searching of my client was unconstitutional. On the hearing date, I cross-examined the arresting Chicago police officer. I made him contradict his own police report that he wrote. I convinced the judge that the officer had no right to approach my client and search him. The judge then suppressed all of the evidence in the case! We fight for our clients!
