On the night of the incident, our client was out on his boat, about 9 miles offshore. Due to a bitter falling out, our client's previous business partner contacted a Marine Interdiction Agent ("MIA"), informing the agent that our client was out on his boat and was in fact a drug smuggler. The client turned over 2.1 ounces of marijuana that were on the boat when approached by the officers. In the end, this case resulted in a misdemeanor possession charge against our client. See how the tampa criminal defense attorney addressed the jurisdictional issues in this case.
