Samuel Culper is the alias that Adam Woodhull used when he spied for George Washington. Late last night, I received an email from this spy informing me that a prominent local lawyer was charged with drug offenses on Tuesday after an appearance in juvenile court. He left without his briefcase, which was opened later to determine who had left it behind, and that's when drugs were discovered. When I can confirm that this story is accurate, I'll let you know.
In 2019, deputy sheriffs discovered a small glassine envelope that was later determined to be methamphetamine in the well of Courtroom No. 1, near the jury box, following arraignments that day. The only people allowed to sit there are lawyers and an occasional probation officer.
The drug was destroyed because video was unable to pinpoint anything.
I believe there are suspects and they consist of every lawyer who was in the well of the court that day, particularly those who were in the jury box. I was even told that some lawyers could name the lawyer who dropped his meth bag.
The lawyer who was allegedly charged yesterday is that very same lawyer.
I will decline publishing comments identifying this attorney until I am certain the information I received is accurate.
