18-Year-Old Student Sees Dismissal and Avoids a Drug Conviction

Posted On: January 6th, 2017 by Bradley J. Groene

An 18-year-old man from Hamilton County was recently driving with some friends in his car when unfortunately a few of the passengers began smoking marijuana. The car was pulled over and this young, high school student found himself charged with permitting drug abuse, which is a serious misdemeanor that carries a possible jail sentence and hefty fines, in addition to a looming drug-related conviction on his permanent criminal record. With no previous criminal history, the driver did not want to have a needless conviction attached to all future job or college applications, so he reached out to Ohio criminal defense attorney Bradley J. Groene to help handle this permitting drug abuse charge.

With considerable experience handling similar drug cases, attorney Groene began negotiating with the prosecutor to find an alternative course of action because the facts of the situation did not appear to support the original charge. Initially, the prosecution was not open to finding another avenue, so attorney Groene set the case for trial. However, prior to the court date, it became clear that attorney Groene’s assertion was correct and the prosecution decided to dismiss the permitting drug abuse charge in its entirety. The client was pleased to learn that his future will not be impacted by a drug conviction and he can easily move past this unfortunate incident.
