While off base, our client in this case was caught by the Japanese Police with a knife and a small bag of Spice. He was arrested and turned over to his command, which preferred charges against him for possession of Spice.

However, because there were no admissions made by the client, and because no testing of the Spice was conducted, we demanded a fully litigated trial. Not wanting to take the case to trial against us without proper evidence, the government dropped all charges.
