    Default Michigan MIP need some help /past drug charge

    Alright so heres the deal, I live in Big Rapids MI 49307

    During the summer of 2006 I got a charge for use of marijuana. I didnt get any calls back from the officer for some time but thats not the big deal. bla bla bla I got a call back from him there was a warrant for my arrest so I planned on going to get that taken care of. This charge was in my hometown of whitehall MI.

    When i found out about the charge it was a sunday and I planned taking care of it NOT the coming wednesday, but the wednesday after that, so a week and a half later. ( midterms)

    The weekend after finding out about the charge, so 6 days (saturday) I got an MIP, i guess the bad luck followed me. This was in Big rapids where I attend school.

    I went back to my hometown (whitehall, well muskegon was where the court was) and got my drug charge for use of marijuana taken care of, I got 4 months probation and a marijana specific class that when i take that my probation is over. I believe i utilized 7411 treatment

    Basically I need to know if either the MIP will affect the drug charge, or vice versa, the drug charge will affect the MIP, and how, the timing is a little different then what might be expected so im not 100% sure what to expect when i go to take care of my MIP in the next week.

    I dont see how the MIP could be a violation of my probation because I wasant on probation when i got it. I really need to see about getting both of these off my record as soon as possible because Im attending school for pharamcy and that certainly can prevent that.

    Im on probation and when I complete it the drug use will be off my record. Will there be any way to get the MIP off?, if not how long will that stay on my record? Any info or answers, or answers to questions I should have asked will be GREATLY appreciated, thanks all, will be looking for feedback very soon!!

    If the court knew about the MIP charge when you were sentenced to 7411, it is unlikely that it will have any further effect on you. Did the court know about that charge?

    Well when i was scentanced to 7411 it was for my drug charge, im assuming they couldnt know about the MIP because it as 3 days before. Im just assuming that the court involving the MIP will know about the drug charge, anything else you need to know???

    If you were sentenced by a court which was unaware of the MIP charge, and chose not to tell the court, that could cause you problems when they check your record at the end of your probation (or sooner). Consult a criminal defense lawyer.

    You really need to have a serious chat with your probation officer.

    well what exactly would i say, when i got my 7411 treatment I had a lawyer in muskegon county, he made his point not to bring it up...why would he do that if he didnt have a reason.

    I guess i dont understand how the MIP can affect my drug charge becuase i wasant on probation when i got my MIP??

    A: Be honest with your probation officer; it will do you well.

    well if i plead guilty on my arreinment, what happens, obviously i pay my fine and it goes on my record, any idea how long it will stay there?

    If i plead not guilty and retain a lawyer then what are my options, I didnt blow a .09 and had 3 beers on my when i got my MIP is there any chance of getting a lesser sentance or how does all that work?
