Minor Marijuana Possession

[alexbollero]

My question involves juvenile law in the State of: indiana

On march 29, 2013 i was smoking and driving in MY car with a friend. I swerved and was pulled over. We both admitted to smoking and i told the cop where my weed (roughly 3 grams) and pipe were. Both my friend and i were very polite to the officer and the car was searched by a dog and another officer. I was arrested for the possesion of marijuana and nothing else. No ticket was recieved. but my friend was not arrested. I was booked into the elkhart county jail but was quickly picked up by my father. They said i would recieve papers in the mail about court but i have recieved nothing yet. I am 17 years old and wondering what will happen in court if i even have to go. This is my first offence with the law ever. Will i be put on probation or will i get off easy with some drug classes?

As dispositions can vary depending on the full facts and upon the policies of local courts and prosecutors, you should discuss your case with a local lawyer. As an operating under the influence charge is possible, and such a charge would appear to land you in adult court, all the more reason to consult a lawyer.
