Posession of Marijuana in Ohio
My boyfriend (21) and his best friend (20) were arrested today in OHio for posession of one ounce of marijuana, paraphanilia, and trafficking. They were coming from Michigan on there way home to Connecticut. This is both of their first criminal charges. Does anyone know what they can be facing in court tomorrow morning such as fines, jail time or anything? I'm trying to get an idea of what to expect. Thank you so much.

If they were just picked up, they are probably going to be arraigned tomorrow, or perhaps they simply have a bond hearing. They should consult a criminal defense lawyer before entering any pleas.

i know they r going before the judge but i dont know if its a hearing or not. their parents have got them a bails bondsmen to represent them because they re so far away from home. but what do you think there punishment could be? will they get it tomorrow or will they have to go back for it?

They should consult a criminal defense lawyer before entering any pleas. Their lawyer can advise them on a probable outcome and sentence based upon the charge.

well they have already admitted that everything was theres. so doesnt that mean they already pleaded guilty?

Their lawyer can advise them as to the status of their case. I have no way of knowing what they have done, but from what you have said so far, no.
