Legal Question in Criminal Law in Minnesota

I was leaving a large retail store police pulled up as u was getting into a vehicle, which isn't owned by me, they said I stole something and searched the vehicle, they found nothing stolen but they found a meth pipe and .50 of meth.. They haven't charged me but did hold me for 36 hrs. Can they charge me with possession ? I am in probation for drug possession 2 years ago.

I urge you to confer privately at this time with an experienced attorney: She will study the police evidence on your behalf. The police search may or may not have been valid under law. I presume your hope is to improve your position and get these issues to be nothing but small 'blips' from your past. All the best to you.

Yes, you should expect to receive a complaint by mail formally charging you with the felony drug possession crime. Hire a lawyer right away to get in front of this thing. A challenge may be raised to the search of the car. Your probation status makes the situation all the more urgent. Feel free to give me a call or an email. Good luck.
