Possession Marijuana/Paraphernalia (Saint Lucie County)

Facts: Our client was sentenced to probation with a condition of weekend jail on a marijuana case back in 1999. At some point there was an allegation that our client violated his probation and a no bond warrant was issued for his arrest. Our client continues to live in the state of Florida, Citrus County and never hears another thing about this case. Until 2021 when the police knock on his door and take him into custody in Citrus County for a 22 year old Saint Lucie County violation of probation.

Results: Our client’s wife called and retained us right away. We immediately sent an email to the state attorney, putting them on notice, that this very very old warrant had been executed and our client was being held without bond. We advised that we wanted to get this resolved as quickly as possible so that he did not have to be transported from Citrus to Saint Lucie County. After being very diligent in following up with the state we were able to get them to agree to a resolution that would get our client out of custody immediately. Rather than wait for our client to be transported to get him before the judge we took it upon our selves to call the Citrus County jail and set it up for our client to appear from Citrus via Zoom to resolve his Saint Lucie case. It took multiple phone calls and emails, but in a matter of 3-4 business days we were able to get the case set before the Saint Lucie court and have our client on Zoom from the Citrus County jail and he was released that day!
