A no contest plea may or may not be accepted by a judge. It won't really make a difference though. Drug charges will result in an automatic license suspension. That is the most serious punishment he is looking at. Fine and probation is likely too. An attorney would look at the basis for the search and may be able to supress the evidence.

What type of plea and punishment is up to the judge. He would be wise to consult with a Douglas County attorney who knows the lay of the land.
