Hello about 6 months ago I recieved an unlawful possesion of marijuana ticket for a small amount for personal use. I went to court and received ACOD for a year. A few days ago i recieved 2 tickets open alcohol container and under age drinking ticket. I went to court and I have to pay a $75 fine but they want me back in 4 days to review my ACOD. what are the consequences I could be facing? could they drug test me in court?

When you violate your probation while on ACOD, a likely outcome is that you will be convicted and sentenced on the underlying charge. Consider getting help from a criminal defense lawyer.

So when you said "I", you mean't "my friend"? Okay.

The period of adjournment is, in effect, a period of nonreporting probation. Your friend should consider getting help from a criminal defense lawyer.
