Legal Question in Criminal Law in Michigan

possession with intent to delivery
My grandson is 17 years old, in high school 11th grade. He has never been in trouble before. The Police picked him up and charged him with possession with intent to delivery. He did not have any marajuana in his possession when the police arrested him. He said the police read him his rights and started questioning him. My grandson said he mostly answered I don't know what you are talking about, etc. However, they took his phone and asked him would they find his finger prints on a package of marajuna that was setup to catch him deliving; my grandson answered yes. The police also said they did not need to contact his parents because he is seventeen they can charge him as an adult.

1) Can they charge him as an adult?

2) How much trouble is he in?

3) I know we need to get an attorney; his mother is working on that; however how can we get these charges dropped before going to trial? His arrangement court date is May 15, 2009.

Re: possession with intent to delivery

!. Yes, he became an adult for criminal purposes on his 17th birthday.

2. Possession with intent is a 4 year felony but, since he has no prior troubles with the law, he should only get probation in the worst case.

3. Charges can be adjudicated before trial and your grandson will have no record of conviction.
