Legal Question in Criminal Law in Michigan
searched for shoplifting, found drugs
a friend was accused of shoplifting
last night at a local store (meijer) and
when the police searched him they
found a stolen video game and also
heroin on him (small amount). he
was arrested then sent home.
the drugs were not in plain view and i
was wondering what kind of sentence
he could get. is there anything
protecting him because he was
originally not suspected of having
drugs on him?
thanks

Re: searched for shoplifting, found drugs
Once arrested, the police have the right to search. Your boyfriend is facing serious trouble; a felony drug charge and misdemeanor retail fraud. The felony drug charge could result in prison time. I recommend hiring an attorney who may be able to negotiate with the prosecutor and keep this from ruining his record. Being convicted of both crimes he could have a felony conviction on his record for the rest of his life. Makes getting a job especially difficult, so hiring an attorney, while expensive, may be a good investment. We have experience defending these type of cases. If you need help contact my office.
