The Google AI Summary says

Key details of the case’s collapse include:

• The Traffic Stop: Officer Nicholas Jackson of the Bureau of Indian Affairs stopped 24-year-old Jordan Baldwin on Interstate 40, citing excessively dark window tints.
• The “Smell Test” Challenge: Jackson claimed he detected the odor of marijuana from outside the vehicle. This led to a search where he found less than an eighth of a gram of unburnt marijuana in a backpack and the massive fentanyl stash in the trunk.
• Defense Arguments: Baldwin’s attorney, Robert Gorence, filed a motion to suppress the evidence, arguing it was physically impossible for a human to smell such a tiny amount of raw marijuana through a closed car and backpack. He described the claim as defying “human olfactory prowess”.
• Officer Credibility: The defense also questioned Jackson’s legal jurisdiction to conduct the stop in Bernalillo County and highlighted his “unorthodox” interdiction methods discussed on his own podcasts and YouTube channel.
• Dismissal: Three days before a scheduled hearing for U.S. District Judge Kea Riggs to evaluate the officer’s credibility, the U.S. Attorney’s Office dismissed all charges “in the interest of justice”
