A Pembroke man faces drug charges in Brockton District Court after police stop the vehicle for allegedly swerving in the road according to a news account in the Brockton Enterprise.
The defendant was charged with possession of Class A, heroin with the intent to distribute, trafficking in Ecstasy, possession of Class B drugs with the intent to distribute, a subsequent offense charge of possession of Class B and possession of marijuana with the intent to distribute.
While there are few details of the arrest, it appears that the narcotics were found during a search of the vehicle. In a Massachusetts drug case, often one of the most successful drug defenses is the filing of a motion to suppress to exclude evidence. The issue in the case will be whether a full search of the car was justified.
