Legal Question in Criminal Law in Florida
My husband got arrested last night because he had an arrest warrant out for him. They took him downtown and finger printed him and booked him, They said he had a bail of 10 grand. We bailed him out with 1,000 and has to reutrn in 21 days for court. He is caught up in a mess an ex-friend of his did last year in which his friend was caught selling large amounts of cocaine to undercovers. Im guessing this friend gave up my husbands name for a plea deal. My question is what should I do? He has a warrabt for "cocaine sells" . But they have probable cause. They have no evidence of him doing any of this ever. He never received anything in the mail and this warrant has been out since last year of August, What should I do becuase he obviously needs a lawyer now. What are his chances that he will be ok granted they only have probable cause?

Consult with an experienced criminal defense attorney that practices in the county where the case originates. Your husband's arrest is only the beginning of the process and the information you have provided is insufficient to allow me to comment on the viability of the State's case or your husband's available defenses to the charge(s).
