The defendant, a traffic manager employed by a 3rd party logistics provider, who was on probation with a CWOF for the charge of possession of a class A substance, heroin, was stopped while operating a motor vehicle with a revoked license, and was arrested for same. During a search of the defendant’s motor vehicle, a bottle cap with residue believed to be heroin was found in the defendant’s car, and the defendant was also arrested for possession of a class A substance, hired Attorney Topazio. Attorney Topazio met with the supervising probation officer who wanted to revoke the CWOF and impose a guilty finding, which would have the collateral consequence of suspending the defendant’s driver’s license for one year. Today in court, Attorney Topazio convinced a judge, over probation’s objections, to find a violation of the defendant’s probation, but not to revoke the CWOF, but rather to impose the same terms and conditions of probation previously imposed.
