Marijuana Possession and Paraphernalia in New Mexico, First Offense
My brother is a truck driver. He was at a weigh station at one of the US ports of entry in New Mexico and to make a long story short, his truck was searched legally and the cop found part of a joint and took him to jail and had to get bailed out, you know how that goes. This is a first offense for him and his employer found out and he got fired from his leasing carrier. Now, my question....since he cant seem to bring himself to find this out himself is...
this is a misdemeanor possession of a controlled substance (marijuana) and possession of paraphanalia, BUT...does this charge go under his criminal record, his DMV, both or neither? How long with this be on his file? I cant seem to get him to find out :wallbang: so now I am posting this so at least I will know for my knowledge.

He's charged federally? By the state of New Mexico?
