    Default Drug Paraphernalia Citation and Arrest

    My question involves criminal law for the state of: Arizona

    I was on my way home from my friends house in tempe around 3:30 in the morning. I had been helping him move into his apartment all day and was exhausted but wanted sleep in my own bed. Just as i'm turning on the highway access road, i see three cops pulled over and as i pass they instantly follow and turn there lights/sirens on. I pulled over at the closest place i could, but since i can't roll my windows down(thanks to no window crank) i had to open my door. when the officer reached my truck he found a broken pipe my friend had left in the side door compartment in my truck from moving earlier. the cop said i was under arrest and put handcuffs on me then searched my truck. He found nothing else, but decided to Give me a ticket for possesion of drug paraphernalia with a court date already on it and everything. They said they pulled me over because my vehical matched the description of a stolen one. I don't have any sort of a criminal background, and am now very nervous to go to court. I'm only 18. What should i expect my punishment to be? And is there any way it could be lessened?

    Maximum penalties for paraphernalia in the state of Arizona are here.

    You'd do well to consult with an attorney.

    Maybe they could get you in to a diversion program or some other way to dismiss or reduce the charge.It's always wise to have a lawyer when going to court. A lot of lawyers offer a consulation for free.
