Case Results

Tim Zerillo was able to get an assault on an officer case dismissed in the Cumberland County Unified Docket this week, in a case that was ridiculously overcharged by the police department.

It all started with a drug trafficking felony in Kennebec County. Our Client was a college student and an employee of marijuana grow, who was transporting marijuana when he was stopped by a State Trooper. At the Capital Judicial Center in Augusta, we were able to negotiate a deferred disposition to a misdemeanor possession via an Alford Plea. Our client will do 40 hours of community service and the case will be dismissed in one year.

Tim Zerillo was able to get a felony Reckless Conduct with a Dangerous Weapon (Class C) dismissed in exchange for a Driving to Endanger (Class E) for a fine and a 45-day loss of license in York County this week. Congratulations to our Client!

In 2017, our client was arrested for trafficking (Class B) heroin, fentanyl, and cocaine in York County, Maine. I felt that the stop and seizure of the drugs were suspect, and might present a good opportunity to suppress the evidence. Moreover, to his credit, our client threw himself into treatment and did an excellent job getting sober.  Our client had a prior felony conviction. However, his treatment and the pending Motion to Suppress the evidence we filed put us in a good negotiating posture. We were able to work out a no-jail plea yesterday in the York County Superior Court to Possession of Cocaine. Congratulations to our Client who just dodged a huge bullet!
