22. Regina v. D.E.M. [Provincial Court of Alberta, Calgary – September 2014]

Police pulled DEM over for tinted windows and not wearing a seat belt. As the police approached DEM’s vehicle they detected the overwhelming scent of marijuana. The police arrested DEM and a subsequent search of the vehicle resulted in the seizure of a number of oxycodone (morphine) pills and a small quantity of marijuana. DEM was charged with two counts of possession of a controlled substance. Bottom Line: Patrick Fagan was successful in resolving this prosecution in a manner which will result in the complete withdrawal of both charges.
