The charge is usually not beatable because it is a status offense. Since it was not illegal (controlled substance) contaband, it's usually a probation offense. The DOC has been cracking down on these charges and you could possibly get prison time. Get a good lawyer.

Call me if you would like to speak with the DA in your area.
