    Default Drug Parapharnelia Charges in Illinois

    My question involves criminal law for the state of: Illinois, Kendall County

    The story: Had my car legitimately stolen approximately 4 weeks ago. I had a pipe and <.5g of marijuana in the car. Police found the car 3 days later and the pipe/marijuana were still inside. Police took the car to fingerprint and process evidence. They located the pipe/marijuana. The officer called me and questioned if this was mine, I admitted that it was. They said I could pick up my car. I went and got my car. The evidence technician took me to the car and said that everything was left in it except of course the drugs and pipe. She stated I would be receiving something the mail for possession of drug parapharnelia. That i would need to turn myself in, be "booked", and likely have to pay a 100.00 fine. She said would be no big deal.

    It has been 4 weeks since this happened and I have received nothing in the mail. This seems like a strange process. I'm not sure why I wasn't just arrested at the police station if I was being charged with something.

    Anybody have a clue what class of charge this may be? Normal time frame for the mail delivery? What I'm supposed to get in the mail? A warrant?

    I'm beginning/hoping to think they were just trying to frighten me, but this hanging over my head is irritating.

    Thanks

    I would expect that the delay relates to your drugs and paraphernalia being in an evidence locker at a crime lab, awaiting testing. Although I can't make a guarantee, if and when you are charged, odds are you'll get a summons in the mail.
