So Friday night I got pulled over , Waldorf, MD.
Cops found a couple bags, locked me up over night.
Saw the commisioner, got my charges, and was released on my own recognizence.
Here's what I got charged with:
CDS Possession of Marijuana, max penalty 1 yr or $1,000 fine.
CDS Possession of Paraphenalia, max penalty $500 fine.
anyone have any idea what might go down? This is my first time ever being arrested, so i'm thinking I have a good chance at just doing some kind of drug program as opposed to doing jail time. On the other hand, though, I am Black. I'm also a college student in good academic standing and I have a good job as an editor at a publishing company. How much of a difference will all this make?
I've got a Preliminary Inquiry in a little over a week. What is this? Should I have a lawyer for this? I hear all these horror stories about a public defender, but I don't have any money for a lawyer. If I get a Public defender will I end up doing time?
Jeez, guys. I don't wanna go to jail. I don't wanna have to stab someone my first day out of fear of "rape-dude" status.
