My question involves criminal law for the state of: possession of drug paraphernalia.
Hello I'm a 17 year old male in Ohio. The other day I got caught at a supermarket smelling like weed. The officer searched us and we didn't have any on us. Then he searched my friends car and found paraphernalia. He came back and asked who's it was and I admitted that it was mine. So he charged me and my friend for possession of drug paraphernalia. He charged my friend for having it in his possession and he charged me for it being mine. I completely understood and didn't argue. A couple days later it was brought to my attention that I shouldn't of been charged. Just because I wasn't caught with it in my possession. I don't know the rules and I am seeking for help. I have changed my life around and stopped smoking. But I still don't want to be charged if I don't need to. This happened a week ago and I am searching for answers. Thank you
