According to the officers report, our client was pulled over for failing to turn his headlights on. After approaching the vehicle, the officer asserted that he observed that our client\u2019s eyes were bloodshot, pupils were dilated, speech was slurred and the smell over burnt marijuana was emanating from inside the vehicle. Furthermore, the officer claimed that he noticed what appeared to be green vegetation on his lap. Based on all his observations, the officer began to question our client about whether their was anything else illegal inside the vehicle. A subsequent search of the vehicle was conducted and various items indicative of drug use was located inside the vehicle, including but not limited too:Rolling Papers;Tweezers;Metal Grinders;Vaporizer Pen;Marijuana Pipe;Marijuana;MDMA Pills.In addition, the officer discovered a marijuana joint located on the ground in the vicinity where our client was standing while the search was being conducted. Following their discoveries, the officers charged our client with one count of\u00a0possession of MDMA\u00a0in the third degree, one count of\u00a0possession of marijuana under 50 grams\u00a0a disorderly persons offense, one count of\u00a0possession of drug paraphernalia\u00a0a disorderly persons offense as well as one count of being under the influence of CDS also a disorderly persons offense.\u00a0 Since our client was charged with a third degree drug possession charge, all of the charges were transferred to the\u00a0Hunterdon County Superior Court for disposition.Hunterdon County NJ Mental Health Intervention and Treatment Diversionary ProgramAfter discussing the strengths and weakness of the states case, the prosecution agreed to allow our client to participate in what is known as the Hunterdon County Prosecutor\u2019s Mental Health Intervention and Treatment Diversionary Program. This is a unique program that is exclusive to Hunterdon County. It allows certain individuals to participate in a mental health \/ drug abuse diversionary program whereby if they complete the program without violating any of the terms, the charges will be dismissed outright. This program is run very similar to the Pretrial Intervention Program, which is a statewide program. However, the benefit is that a successful completion of this program will\u00a0not\u00a0result in an individual from being blocked from the\u00a0Pretrial Intervention Program,\u00a0Conditional Discharge\u00a0or Conditional Dismissal Program. So in the end, our client went from facing up to five years in a state prison to having the felony drug charges dismissed outright without having to use a diversionary program.Charged with MDMA Possession in New JerseyKeith Oliver Criminal Law has been defending those accused of various different drug offenses like the possession of marijuana, the possession of cocaine with the intent to distribute, the\u00a0distribution of heroin,\u00a0obtaining CDS by fraud\u00a0and leader of drug trafficking network in courts throughout New Jersey.
