DA Drops Charges For Holmes
June 11th, 2009 by Rick
Prosecutors in Pittsburgh dropped the misdemeanor marijuana charges against Pittsburgh Steelers Wide Receiver, Santonio Holmes on Wednesday.
Back in October 23rd of last year, Holmes had been pulled over by Pittsburgh cops looking for a car that matched his. Complying at the time, Holmes gave the police his mobile marijuana stash (three blunts) as evidence.
He wasn’t arraigned until April 30th and his lawyers planned to question the constitutionality of the traffic stop. Prosecutors agreed, when Holmes’ attorney said the scope of the search warrant was not extensive enough for the police to conduct a traffic stop on him, which in turn violated his rights.
