Redondo Beach, Cocaine, Pot & Meth for Sales, 1 Year Program

Our client was arrested after Redondo Beach Police officers were called to investigate a girl that had been thrown from a vehicle and passed out at the scene.

In 50 Words or Less: Redondo Beach, felony possession of cocaine, marijuana and methamphetamine for sales, resisting arrest and probation violation, client agrees to one year treatment program and case dismissed.

Police arrived at the side of the road and summoned an ambulance. The girl was then taken to a local hospital, where she regained consciousness and was questioned. Her memory of events was hazy, but she did identify our client as her boyfriend.
Our client should never have done this. He believed that officers would only look in his car for other bodies, which our client knew were not there. He was quite naïve to believe officers would only spend five seconds or less looking in his car and leave his house.

While searching the car, officers found a purple backpack, which they asked our client to open. Again, our client should have declined their offer. Instead, he consented, and officer found it contained several bottles of prescription medicine along with two glass pipes, cocaine, methamphetamine, and marijuana. Three officers then tried to arrest our client, but he fought them several times, resisting arrest.

While still at the scene, officers received a radio dispatch advising that our client’s girlfriend had called the police and advised that our client had a backpack at her house that had more narcotics and paraphernalia. When the officers confiscated the (second) backpack they found more prescription medicine, bags with residue resembling methamphetamine, marijuana, sugar cubes containing a controlled substance (acid), syringes, three scales, a nasal narcotic ingester, papers containing "pay and owe" columns and several other items.
