INTENT TO DELIVER

NOVEMBER 2017, KANKAKEE COUNTY

MOTION TO SUPPRESS GRANTED

Client was pulled over by Kankakee police. A firearm and cannabis were discovered inside the vehicle. Police claimed they had information that the vehicle was stolen. Mr. Hiatt moved to suppress all evidence seized. He argued that the police had no evidence that the client knew the vehicle was stolen, and that the client had done nothing to justify being pulled over. The court agreed and granted the motion. As a result, the State dismissed the charges, the most serious of which carried a mandatory prison sentence of 6 to 30 years.
