Vehicle searched after officer smells cannabis
Unlawful Possession of a Weapon
DISMISSED
Skokie Room 206
An Evanston Police officer pulled our client over because she was using her cell phone while driving. The officer then claimed that he smelled cannabis so he searched her car and found a gun in her purse and the cannabis inside a locked safe in the back of the car. At a motion to suppress I proved that the officer lied about smelling cannabis from a locked safe. He should have given her a ticket for using the phone and let her go instead of searching the car. Motion granted. Case dismissed
