TAMPA
MAN FACING 3 YEARS MINIMUM MANDATORY PRISON ON
AGGRAVATED ASSAULT WITH A FIREARM CHARGE, AS WELL AS
POSSESSION OF COCAINE CHARGE RECEIVES DISMISSAL
STATE v. J.W.
Judge Walter Heinrich
Date: February, 2006
FACTS:
The Defendant was
arrested for threatening a man with a gun at a residence
that was owned by the Defendant. A subsequent arrest on
that charge and a search of the residence produced drug
paraphernalia and cocaine. An investigation revealed
that the tenant of the property fabricated the firearm
allegation because he was angry with the Defendant for
making him vacate the premises. Further, the drugs in
the residence could not be attributed to the Defendant
because the tenant had just vacated the premises. The
aforementioned evidence was provided to the State
Attorney for their consideration.
RESULT:
Dismissal on all charges.
