Dismissal of Serious Drug Transportation Charges

A client facing allegations of transporting more than 50 kilograms of illegal drugs was at risk of severe felony penalties and a lengthy prison sentence.

Drawing on nearly two decades of experience as a former Assistant State’s Attorney and former Supervisor of the Major Crimes and Narcotics Unit in DuPage County, Attorney Audriana Anderson quickly identified constitutional issues with the traffic stop after reviewing the evidence. She challenged the legality of the stop through a suppression hearing, thoroughly prepared the client for testimony, and successfully argued that law enforcement had violated the client’s rights.

After prevailing at the hearing, the prosecution’s evidence was suppressed, leaving the State unable to proceed. The charges were ultimately dismissed.
