Legal Question in Civil Rights Law in Michigan

Marijuana posession and open container with .025 BAC

I was pulled over and complied with a search of my car. The officer smelled alcohol and marijuana in the car and removed an open fifth of vodka and about an eighth ounce of maijuana from the car. I agreed to a breath test and blew a .025. The overall charges are possession of marijuana and transporting an open container. I was not breathalyzed at the station however it is on the paper traffic ticket he had wrote. What am I facing, jail time? license suspension? and are they trying to convict me of an operating under the influence of liquor? I was bonded out four hours later and was able to get my car out of impound. Thank you so much for any input!

If convicted, you will absolutely lose your driver's license. It can be fairly serious and you should get a lawyer. Feel free to contact me at 248-353-9400 as my associate has a great deal of experience in this area and positive contacts with the courts. William S. Stern
