TILDEN LAW was recently successful in defending a client charged with a drug offense which resulted in all criminal charges being dropped.   According to the Orange County Sheriff’s Department arrest report, our client was initially stopped for throwing a lighted cigarette out of his window while driving his vehicle on Colonial Drive in Orlando, Florida.  After being advised the reason for the stop, the Deputy requested permission to search our client’s vehicle which he refused.

A K-9 unit was called to the scene of the stop to conduct a canine search from the vehicle’s exterior.  According to the report, the K-9 units sweep search of the vehicle resulted in a “hit” or positive indication of drugs.  A search of the interior of the vehicle revealed a bag of Marijuana and two marijuana smoking pipes in the center console.

Central Florida’s largest Ecstasy bust in recent years resulted in seizure of eight pounds of the drug according to the federal Drug Enforcement Agency.

Claude Amir and Yair Harrosch, both Canadian nationals, were arrested at the Cascade Apartments in Daytona Beach Shores, where he drug was being packed into capsules for consumption. Known by many street names Methylenedioxymethamphetamine (MDMA) has been a popular illegal drug since the rave parties of the 1990’s. Priced at up to $30 a capsule, the drug induces euphoria and mild hallucinations.

Amar, 37, and Harrosch, 27, made their first appearances in federal court in Orlando on Tuesday, September 1, 2009. Each faces a charge of possession with the intent to distribute MDMA. Both men were appointed public defenders.

According to a criminal complaint signed by a DEA task force agent, a confidential informant had been talking to Amar in recent weeks about the prospect of Amar selling him MDMA. On Monday, the informant and Amar met at a Daytona Beach restaurant, and Amar told the informant he bought four kilograms of pure MDMA for $100,000, and spent $3,000 to transport the drug from Canada. Amar told the informant he would sell the pure MDMA to him for $40,000 per kilogram. After lunch, the informant and Amar went to Amar’s home at the Cascade Apartments. That’s where the informant saw Harrosch weighing MDMA and packing the drug.

The informant bought $2,500.00 worth of MDMA from Amar. Amar told the informant the MDMA was enough to manufacture 500 pills. Soon after, Amar and Harrosch were arrested.

Although locals claimed the hot dogs were lousy and the customers were few, Hot Dog City was making millions of dollars. The financial success had nothing to do with the food: The business was allegedly a front for a cocaine-and-marijuana operation run by a homegrown gang gone big time, drug agents said.

Newly released documents paint a picture of a violent group that hid in plain sight on the main drag of this historic city, down the street from the police station. At night, they went home to a quiet, working-class neighborhood nearby. Soon, people realized something was wrong.

Cars came and went at all hours at the homes of Daniel Perez, 27, accused of leading the Westside gang, and his brother David Perez, 25. The brothers disappeared for days at a time. Nobody seemed to work. “You don’t have brand-new vehicles in your yard and not have a job,” said one neighbor, who requested anonymity for fear of reprisals.

In May, drug agents raided five homes and businesses, confiscating cars, guns and cash. Sixteen people were arrested. Most remain jailed. Two more are on the run. Most are charged with conspiracy to traffic cocaine. Daniel Perez could be sentenced to life in prison if convicted of directing the activities of a criminal gang. He also is charged with racketeering, conspiracy to traffic cocaine and money laundering.

Members operated the hot-dog shop and a secretarial service elsewhere in Winter Garden, arrest papers show. Although they didn’t do much business, the hot dogs in particular were unpopular, neighboring shopkeepers said, a steady flow of money was deposited into corporate accounts. Investigators said it came from drug profits. “It gives it the appearance of legitimacy,” said the lead case agent, Brent Harrison of the Florida Department of Law Enforcement.

The arrests stemmed from a painstaking 11-month investigation that involved intercepted cell-phone conversations among gang members, surveillance, bank records and the use of informants.

A man, whose daughter was killed by his pet python in July, was arrested on Friday and charged with selling cocaine in Oxford, Florida.

Police said Charles Darnell, 32, sold the drug to undercover Sumter County agents.

The arrest was a result of a one-week operation where agents allegedly made two separate buys from Darnell at his home in Oxford. On both occasions, undercover agents purchased powdered cocaine. 

The transactions occurred at the front yard of Darnell’s residence. The Special Investigations Squad conducted a field test on the purchased product, which came back positive for cocaine. 

Darnell was charged with two counts of sale of cocaine, two counts of possession of cocaine with intent to sell, two counts of unlawful use of a two-way communication device and two counts of keep shop for dangerous drugs. His bond has been set at $110,000. 

Shaiunna Hare, 2, was killed in July in Sumter County when her family’s 8-foot python got out of its enclosure and strangled the child. Officials are investigating whether the snake’s cage met the proper requirements. Police said Darnell, the owner of the snake, also did not have the required permit for the snake.
