    Default Possession of Marijuana and Vicodin Pills

    My question involves criminal law for the state of: AZ

    A friend of mine was pulled over on the way to PArker, AZ and was caught with less than 1/8 of marijuana and 7 vicodin pills. This is his first offfense and was charged only with possesion. He did not get hit with a DUI.

    So, my question is this... Is he looking at jail time or just a hefty fine?

    Thanks in advance.

    Not really sure what you mean... those are the three numbers he gave me when I asked him what he was charged with.

    He said the police told them they are "attempted posession" how can posession be attempted?

    Thanks for your help, I will fwd this link to him.

    I think I get what you mean... he was driving by himself. I wasn't with him. I'm just trying to help him out.

    There is a crime of possession.

    If you make a substantial step in trying to possess, then that is attempt.

    (It's a lot more complicated than that; but that is a quick and easy answer.)
