    Unhappy Marijuana and Paraphernalia in Ohio

    My question involves criminal law for the state of: OH

    I am 17 and last night I was caught by police in a public cemetery after hours with 5 other males, 2 of which were 18. They searched my car and found a blunt in the center console and a pipe along with a bag of weed less than 3 g in my friend's(18) backpack. They also seized my phone and read all my txts, but the officer gave all the phones back w/o writing anything down. After waiting 2 hours we were all released to our parents. Everyone received trespassing, I and the friend with backpack received poss. of narcotics and poss. of paraphernalia. They claimed the wrapper used to roll the blunt was paraphernalia. I was wondering what the possible penalties would be for myself.

    You're looking at a minor misdemeanor and a misdemeanor.

    No criminal record or jail time, and a fine of $100 for the weed. A maximum fine of $750 and/or 30 days in the can for the paraphernalia. (That's the maximum. First offenders typically get considerably less.) Suspended license for 6 months for the paraphernalia. Probation is likely.

    And the judge will probably yell at you.

    Yeah, those are the penalties for an adult in OH, not a minor. From what I hear I'll get probation and a license suspension along with a hefty fine and community service, just wondering if anyone with some experience knows exactly what the judge can do to me. I can't seem to find any site with the penalties for a minor in OH.

    bump because I'd really like to know, haven't received my court date yet, so I'm getting fairly nervous
