Re: Drug Posession

Were the pills prescription? Why did the officer call them Meth if they were muscle relaxers? Was he charged with DUI as well as possession? I assume he was driving. Subject to more facts, he faces loss of license and prosecution for possession of a controlled substance. This is true whether or not he was driving under the influence. If he has a prescription for muscle relaxers it would sure help. He needs representation and should speak with an attorney as soon as possible.

I have practiced in the courts of Cobb County, GA since 1972 and would be pleased to discuss this matter with you.
