Nearly one year after a Motion to Suppress was filed on behalf of Martin (Mo) Buchanan of Teague, District Judge Patrick Simmons found that the request should be denied.
Had this motion been granted, much of the evidence in this case, including drugs, firearms, and cash, would have been deemed in admissible.
As it stands, the case is expected to proceed to trial in the next few months.
Buchanan was arrested May 9, 2017 following the execution of a search warrant at Freestone Boxing Club, located at 711 Highway 84 near Teague city limits.
Freestone County Sheriff’s Office, with assistance from Teague PD and Tri-County Auto Task Force recovered more than seven pounds of marijuana, pharmaceutical narcotics, mushrooms, four firearms, and $4,900 in cash.On having doubts of marijuana consumption, To check marijuana quantity urine test was considered. But to escape from doubt the criminal, he uses the synthetic urine kit. follow this link to know more about this. The most used drug test types are urine, saliva, blood, and hair. We know everything about urine, saliva, and blood drug testing because those tests are fairly easy to pass. But how to pass a hair follicle drug test? Well, hair strand tests are the most advanced type of drug test and are very difficult to beat. Passing a hair follicle test is much harder than any other drug test. While you can pass a urine drug test with synthetic urine easily (or by swapping the sample), or by masking toxins in your body with a detox drink, with a hair drug test you can not use any of these tricks. This is what makes things tricky, while THC is present in your saliva and blood for a couple of days and a maximum of 30 days in your urine, a hair shaft can store traces of THC along its entire length. So your entire most recent three months drug taking history is indelibly printed into each hair on your body. There are three options to pass a hair follicle drug test. The first and best method is the Macujo method. The second, which is not such a good option, is the Jerry G method, which is very similar to the Macujo method, but it completely ruins your hair. The third option is to shave your entire hair, but you will have to shave the hair on your head, and everywhere else on your body to stop them from having hair to take a sample from. I wouldn’t recommend the third option of shaving your hair, even if it sounds like the easiest option. Let me remind you that those guys in the testing lab are not idiots. They know exactly what’s going on. If you have an upcoming hair drug test and you walk in with a freshly shaved head, they will know what’s going on. They can tell you to come back later with some hair on your head or they can take a urine sample (supervised), saliva sample, or even a blood sample.

He pled ‘not guilty’ during his arraignment on May 29, 2018.
The original Motion to Suppress was filed June 28, 2018.
The hearing for this motion was held April 2, 2019, in which the defendant argued that the law enforcement action in this case was a violation of his constitutional rights; that the officers involved did not have the right to enter the property of the defendant and thereafter discover the smell of marijuana from a storage building behind the defendant’s resident. Therefore all discovery evidence in this case should not be admissible in court.
A Findings of Fact and Conclusions of Law was signed by Judge Simmons on May 20, 2019.
The court concluded that the peace officers had the authority to drive onto the premises to make contact with the defendant, that the stolen property was in plain view to the officers, and that the search warrant was lawful and gave officers the authority to search and seize evidence found on the property and to arrest the defendant. Therefore, the Motion to Suppress should be denied.
According to District/County Attorney Brian Evans, this case should go to trial sometime in August.
