Ex-STHS security guard’s trial on hold
By Kathryn Reed
The trial of the former South Tahoe High School security guard accused of smoking pot with a student is not happening this week as scheduled.
Larry Brown’s attorney filed a motion to suppress evidence. That issue is scheduled to be heard Sept. 24.
“Defense also wanted us to take a look at some character evidence they are in the process of pulling together with the thought that it may persuade us to make a different settlement offer, which I advised I would not do in any event without first also meeting with the victim and her parents,” Hans Uthe, El Dorado County deputy district attorney, told Lake Tahoe News. “If we cannot settle the matter and if the motion to suppress evidence is denied, then the case will be reset for trial.”
Brown, 63, pleaded not guilty in May to charges of having provided marijuana to a minor. He is charged with one felony count and two misdemeanor counts related to his arrest in November involving marijuana and a 16-year-old female student.
Suppress evidence?! He was caught red-handed, the pervert! I’ve just gotten a jury duty notice. . .
