Re: drug, possess class C + drug, possess class D

The person has been charged with 2 drug charges and a motor vehicle charge. Depending upon the person's record, a good criminal lawyer who knows the system can get great results. I would need to know more about facts, person's prior record, if any, and status of case to provide more information. Please feel free to contact me further. Martha Kovner

Re: drug, possess class C + drug, possess class D

It is not as simple as that.

But generally speaking, a first offense drug charge can result if a continuance without a finding, or a guilty plea. The former is where a person pleads and usually gets probation. After the sentence is over, the CWOF enters as a dismissal. The sentences vary with usually a 6 month probation for the possession of marijuana first offense.

There may be defenses to the nature of arrest.

I would suggest that you have an attorney review the police report, and discuss this matter with you. I may be biased, but given the charges, I would recommend getting an attorney.

I do criminal defense work, and you can contact me.
