Early Sunday Morning my half brother who has been 18 six months was arrested on a charge of Delivery/poesession of 4 lbs of weed. (State of Michigan, Bay County) Over 5 hour drive from home one way. This kid does not even have a drivers liscense yet. The driver was older and had prior convictions (of what I don't know). My brother is in jail and the driver has gone home. Looks like he is taking the rap for this older guy. Because the older guy had priors and would be looking at serious time for this offense--he has several little children at home - so my brother doesn't want them to go without a Dad like hid did- Our father died in 2002 when my half brother was only 12 years old.
The strange thing is my brohter doesn't hang with the pot smoking crowd.
He was a wrestler, going undefeated many times. He also is a weightlifter. Now tell me this kid is training his butt off at wrestling practice and smoking weed. I doubt it. His coach just praised him up one side and down the other as what a very cooperative, shows initative, team player- does what he is asked without any probem He was made a captain of his team while he was a Sophmore- kind of early but he was mature enough for the responsibility.
Thats the whole word to describe my little brother responsiblie.
He moved out of his mother's house at age 17 to a small apartment. He told her he was tired of her drinking away his social security death benefit checks but when he needed ten dollars well she was broke. He kept going to school and worked construction all summer- he has worked construction 3 summers straiight. Everyone says he is a very hard worker- will work any chance he can.
There was NO CLUE TO ANYONE WHO KNEW HIM THAT HE WAS INVOLVED WITH WEED AT ALL LET ALONE TO THIS EXTENT. Somehow in the last few months he has gotten in with the wrong crowd that is older. But understand I am not saying he is not responsible for his own actions.
Still 4 pounds that is a lot of weed.
He has a crystal clean record up to this incident.
Does anyone feel he can get a 7411 in the state of Michigan with this amount of weed against him? Does anyone feel he will get a full felony and go to prison- if so how long might he be sentenced (NO I DON'T WANT HIM TO GO TO PRISON)
