Previously, special agent Peter Hoyle of the Mendocino Major Crimes Task Force testified that he and other officers were stopped alongside road M1 in the Mendocino National Forest.
In a preliminary hearing, Hoyle said he and others were about to go to a grow site that had been identified last year. Hoyle stopped a truck driven by Radoslav because he described it as "fish tailing."
Cole-Wilson filed papers stating she would ask for Hoyle's personnel files regarding complaints about fabrication, dishonesty and illegal detention or search.
Radoslav's attorney, Elliott, had also filed a document stating that Ayvazov was illegally detained by Hoyle while police got a warrant.
Cole-Wilson said that two new arrests were connected to the property and statements made by those newly arrested supported attorneys' defense of the four men.
"My opinion was we would have won the trial anyway without new evidence," Cole-Wilson said.
Elliott said that her client and another of the defendants had arrived at the Bentley Ridge property for construction work. Another showed up, followed by one of the Dzaynelovs who was a truck driver, Elliott said.
"They were here doing construction work," Elliott said, "They got caught in a bad situation."
A trial had been set to begin Tuesday.
