State vs. JW

The Client was arrested for Trespassing in an Occupied Structure when the Client was at MacDinton’s Pub and security advised the Client to leave the facility. The Client allegedly attempted to re-enter the facility and was arrested for Trespassing. When the Client arrived at the jail, the Client was found to have Xanax in his possession and was subsequently charged for Possession of a Controlled Substance and Introduction of Contraband into a Detention Facility. Attorney Anthony Rickman immediately contacted the State to provide them with documentation that the client possessed a valid prescription for the Xanax. Upon receiving that documentation, the State immediately dropped the two drug charges and the client was charged with only Misdemeanor Trespassing. Attorney Rickman was then able to convince the State to allow the Client to enter the Misdemeanor intervention Program, where the remaining charge will be dismissed upon the completion of the program.
