Arresting Officer(s): Donnie Fontaine
Availability: Early NA
Date of Incident: 6/8/2025
What they plead: Not Guilty
State what charge(s): 1xPoss. Of a controlled dangerous substance
Provide reasoning for appeal: Nothing to show that there were actually any drugs involved. No physical evidence was recovered, no tests as to the makeup of the substance, not even a test if there was any THC in his system, just a picture of something that supposedly looked like a joint to the officer. While something looking like drugs may be enough to stop the suspect and investigate, visual identification alone doesn’t nearly meet the bar of beyond a reasonable doubt.
