    Default Drug Paraphernalia Charge to Minor

    My question involves criminal law for the state of: Ohio

    Hey everyone heres my story.

    One night my friend was driving and we just happened to pick up a bowl from my other friend. He failed to turn on his turning signal switching lanes so we got pulled over. The cop smelled it and checked the car. Later i said it was my bowl and got charged with drug paraphernalia. i am wondering what will happen to me at court, i am pretty nervous. i am also 16.. please give me advice on what to do in court ive never been there before

    My story i told them is my friends and i were playing basketball at a park and we found a bowl on a bench. i picked it up and brought it home not knowing what to do with it kept it in my room. i smoked out of it once or twice and didnt want it anymore, so at a party i gave it to a kid i didnt know. He somehow got my number and said he gave it to another friend of mine who is giving it back to me. i met up with him at the mall parking lot, then after that is when i got pulled over

    So is the story true? I don't recommend that you lie or if you lied, change your story.

    You should be charged in juvie court.
    Here's what your looking at, note that the below is for adult punishment.
    Paraphernalia possession misdemeanor 30 days $750
    Paraphernalia sale misdemeanor 90 days $1,000
    Any drug conviction causes driver's license suspension for 6 months to 5 years.
    Professional licenses are suspended.

    They will first instruct you that lying in court is it's own charge... a possible felony called perjury.
