Legal Question in Criminal Law in Maryland

marijuana possession first offense

I was charged with possession of under 1/2 oz of weed, which is my first offense. I was pulled over and the cop found 1 gram in the car but after searching the car they found the hotel key and room number that i was staying in for the night. After searching the room they found an additional 5 grams (2 already rolled up). I was wondering what type of jail time or fine i might face?

Re: marijuana possession first offense

You are likely not facing any actual jail time, but you should get an attorney to investigate any constitutional or factual issues with the case that may get you a not guilty. Also, you may be eligible for a first offender program that could get a dismissal and expungement. Feel free to contact me anytime with further details about your case.
