On August 8, 2014, police in Webster, Texas arrested 19-year-old Amber Roberts after seizing a substance from her that field-tested positive for Ecstasy.
On August 13, 2014, Roberts pled guilty in Harris County Criminal District Court to possession of a controlled substance. She was sentenced to four years of community supervision.
On October 3, the Harris County Institute of Forensic Sciences tested the evidence and no controlled substance was found. The Harris County District Attorney’s Post Conviction Review Unit notified Roberts’ attorney and joined in a motion to vacate her conviction.
On March 2, 2015, the motion was granted and the charge was dismissed.
