• Webster Town Court Judge Rules Police Search Unlawful, Suppresses Evidence From Search

Finding the police's search of the defendant and his backpack were unlawful, Webster Town Court Judge Thomas DiSalvo ruled the evidence from the searches, including a syringe and heroin, must be suppressed. In People of the State of New York v. Jason C. Torregrossa, the defendant was charged with false personation and Criminal Possession of a Controlled Substance in the Seventh Degree. Judge DiSalvo determined the police were not justified in searching the defendant or his backpack. Therefore, the judge concluded the evidence must be suppressed and the criminal possession charge should be dismissed.
