Charged with Drug Paraphernalia and Possession, But Neither Were Mine
hello all, Im a 20 year old male. yesterday i was sitting with my friend near his house and we just decided to light up a bowl. well we were sitting there for about 15 minutes after and up comes a cop knocking on his window. they ended up arresting him and seached both of us and all we had was the bowl that was in the cup holder and a small nugget. they then ask me to call my parents and asking them to come pick me up and tell them what was going on. so i did and about 10 minutes later tell me they were taking too long and ended up arresting me too. we sat in jail for about 4 hours then they let us go.
my question is, since my friend took full responsibility for the drugs and pipe is how come i was arrested and do i have a chance to get my charges dismissed? we both have court monday what should i plea?
Re: Charged with Drug Paraphernalia and Possession. Neither Were Mine
Ownership is immaterial to possession. You are guilty by your own admission.
Always plead not guilty unless you have legal counsel as to the implications of the guilty plea.
Get a lawyer.
We can't help you further since you decided to BLOW OFF the question as to what state you are in, but it's unlikely you have a chance in hell they're going to dismiss the charges on this.
