Judge DISMISSES Drug Case After K9 Stop Ruled Illegal (Rodriguez Violation) | Michigan Court

In today’s hearing before Judge Corey Wiggins in Michigan’s 84th District Court, two co-defendants (Daryl Puit and Jason Couples) faced felony drug charges — but the case took a dramatic turn. Law enforcement conducted a traffic stop, requested consent to search, then called a K-9 unit. The court analyzed whether the stop was unlawfully prolonged and whether officers had reasonable suspicion to extend the stop for a dog sniff under Rodriguez v. United States (2015). After hearing testimony and arguments, Judge Wiggins ruled the stop was extended beyond its lawful mission, suppressed the K-9 alert and all evidence, and ultimately dismissed the cases without prejudice for lack of probable cause.
