State v. S; Judge: Tom Barber

The client (defendant) was on felony probation for a number of theft related offenses. Like many people with a serious drug problem, he turned to theft to support his drug habit. He made strides while on probation, but continued to run with friends who dealt in drugs. The night of his arrest the client was actually driving in his father's van with a dealer who was being surveilled by the Tampa Police Department's QUAD SQUAD (a specialized division of the tampa police department focused solely on drug detection and prevention). The client noticed that he was being followed by the police department and dropped off his friend. The Tampa Police continued to follow the van and eventually stopped the client at a gas station. They searched his vehicle and found drugs. The client was arrested for the drug charge and for violating his probation. He was taken into custody and given no bond on his violation of probation. Find out how the Tampa Criminal Lawyers got the defendant out of jail, and brought about the dismissal of the drug charge and the client's 4th violation of probation.
