Gun Suppressed in School Zone Case

February 25, 2026 -- The Superior Court presiding over a "weapon in a school zone" case has granted the Firm's motion to suppress evidence against the client. The client was arrested after campus police found a firearm in the client's dorm room on a University System of Georgia campus. John Monroe Law, P.C. filed a motion to suppress the gun from evidence on the grounds that it was illegally seized. While the campus police had obtained a warrant to search the dorm, the information used to justify the warrant was illegally obtained. Georgia law requires evidence to be suppressed when it is found as a result of a warrant issued without probable cause. The remains pending, but the State is unlikely to continue the prosecution without the gun as evidence.
