Facts: Charged with supply of prohibited drugs
Police searched WB’s home and located prohibited items during a search warrant procedure. Aside from possession charges WB was charged with a supply of prohibited drugs. This charge carries a 15-year maximum sentence.
Outcome: Plea of guilty resulting in Intensive Correction Order
O’Brien Criminal and Civil Solicitors’ drug lawyers represented WB and entered a Plea of Guilty to supply of prohibited drugs.
