If the guy was 18 with no criminal record, there should have been no problem with the ammo, unless they are saying that since it was in a handgun, it was handgun ammo and not rifle ammo or something stupid like that. Also, seeing the way that they charge things, it would seem like they would have charged him for each bullet.
They can't charge for each bullet due to the plural meaning of the word ammunition.
Except police didn't find drugs. Sounds suspiciously like "the dog alerted" kind of made up crap for police to search the vehicle.
If they can prove it was an illegal search (difficult, but cops never lie) then the whole thing gets tossed. I assume that will be the angle taken by the victim, I mean accused's attorneys.
Well,,,,its 07/29 and he is still in jail... Maybe the lawyer sucks?
If the judge denied bail, not a lot a lawyer can do other than appeal that. Which isn't likely to be fast.
Frankly, out of control judge to deny bail completely. Do any of them have priors? Because it sounded like no.
Just an update on this. Back in August, they NOLLE PROSEQUI all the charges listed. However they did add a new charge, think plea deal, GAS/AIR PELLET GUN. the Plea was Guilty, the Court gave PBJ UNSUPERVISED. Case search did not reveal what Statue the charge was under.
Case search indicated this guy was in jail from 07/16/2017 to 8/15/2017, his court date.

So dude sat in jail for a month and then plead to a pellet gun charge? Weird.

Pellet guns are used in a huge number of street robberies, by little groups exactly like this. So, yes. To me, this sounds like a robbery crew that got caught. And yes, after you smoke your blunt while you're riding around looking to do a bump and run, your car will smell of marijuana, even though there isn't anything left. 18 and no criminal record? Yeah... the juvenile record won't show up.

This whole thing was ridiculous. Nevermind this same judge probably lets out every other repeat criminal with a history of gun charges, but this one has to have the book thrown at them since its their first offense. Clearly they were responsible for all the gun crime in the city.

Peace through strength
Have teach the new payers that jail is bad so that they will spend lots of money next time to stay out. Maybe the wrong defense attorney was hired, like buying from the wrong fish distributor...

Do you really think all these repeat offenders are paying for high priced attorney's? No way. They are using the public defenders office. The PD and SA office act way to friendly with one another IMHO. Heck, even sitting in court I have witnessed States Attorney's negotiate super generous plea deals with defendents who dont have an attorney. With or without its always the same, plea to the lowest charge, or in some cases a charge even lower than what they were charged with in the first place, with either time served or minimal probation. They will also Noelle proseque everything if it isnt "serious enough". I take that as code for the Elected States Attorney has said that those charges arent worth even trying to plea out, or they dont want to enforce them.

IMO, the judges making/accepting these deals (especially the ones returning cases to juvie) need to be outed and publicly shamed.
Maybe then the DAs and SAs might get the idea.
