Legal Question in Criminal Law in Arizona

Drug Possession/Distribution Charge

My husband was in a car with a friend when pulled over. There was 1/4 of a pound of marijuana in a backpack that was my husbands. The bag was on the passenger floor board. The backpack was my husbands but the contents were his friends. Both were arrested with the same charge. The friend admitted that the drugs were his and plans to plead guilty. Will his plead allow my husbands charge to drop? Can my husband still be charged with anything? How can we handle this legal situation?

Re: Drug Possession/Distribution Charge

You need the advice of a criminal defense lawyer at once. Your husband will quite likely be charged with a conspiracy to possess MJ, and possibly to distribute given the quantity. Either is a serious charge [felony] under AZ law. Do not hesitate. Get legal advice immediately.
