Possession of Marijuana on Northern Michigan University

My question involves criminal law for the state of: Michigan

Hello,

My younger brother was caught in possession of two grams of weed on Northern Michigan University's campus last night. He is rather nervous and unsure what will happen. I have never been in a situation like this before but he asked me not to tell our parents and I want to help him in any way possible.

I have been researching what could happen, up to one year in prison and/or $2,000 fine, but I was curious as to what will happen next.

Any and all help would be appreciated. I want to help him as much as possible and get him in as little trouble as possible.

Thank you.

how old is younger brother? any idea what the actual charge(s) are? statute numbers if you can.

My brother is 18. And I am not sure at the moment but will find out asap.

If he's charged with simple possession, first offense, he should look into a "7411" (seventy-four eleven) deferred sentence under MCL 333.7411, so he can avoid a conviction. If he's comfortable raising the issue directly with the prosecutor he can try that, but it would be sensible to consult a criminal defense lawyer.
