United States of America v. Tomario Richardo Hicks

Albany, Georgia, criminal defense lawyer represented the Defendant charged with possession of a firearm by a convicted felon, possession with intent to distribute meth, and possession of a firearm in furtherance of drug trafficking.

On January 28, 2022, Georgia State Patrol pulled Hicks over
after Hicks committed a traffic violation. While stopping Hicks,
the patrol officer saw him throw items out the car’s front passenger
window. Hicks admitted that he had thrown ecstasy pills out of
the car and that he had a gun in the car.
Consistent with Hicks’s admission, law enforcement found
eight small bags on the side of the road beside Hicks’s car. Each
contained 10 colored pills. Later testing confirmed that, altogether,
the pills contained more than 32 grams of methamphetamine. Law
enforcement also found a handgun on the driver’s side floorboard,
along with a digital scale in the center console and a box of plastic
baggies in the backseat. Hicks knew he was a felon on the day of
the traffic stop.
