CASE DISMISSED

Possession with Intent to Distribute a Class B Narcotic, Distribution of a Class B Narcotic, Conspiracy to Violate the 94C Drug Laws; Quincy District Court; Commonwealth v. M.M.; July 16, 2024

While engaged in narcotics distribution surveillance, Officers assigned to the South Shore Drug Task Force observed the Defendant engage in behavior they characterized as a discreet hand to hand narcotics sales transaction. The South Shore Drug Task Force thereafter undertook to interview witnesses, review surveillance notes, and conduct queries with the Department of Probation CARI system and the Massachusetts Registry of Motor Vehicles. At the conclusion of the investigation, the Task Force executed a stop of the Defendant's car, ordered him out, and conducted a search of both his person and the car. The Task Force officers allege that they recovered from inside of the car a quantity of narcotics. 

Attorney Ciraulo drafted, filed, and argued a Motion to Suppress Evidence. Specifically, Attorney Ciraulo argued that the police did not have the requisite reasonable suspicion to stop the Defendant's car, did not have the requisite probable cause to search the Defendant or his car, and did not apply for and obtain a warrant to search the Defendant or his car prior to the search. The Court agreed. The Motion to Suppress all of the drug evidence was allowed, the Commonwealth had no evidence remaining to prosecute the case, and the case was therefore dismissed.
