Legal Question in Criminal Law in Missouri

My boyfriend got arrested yesterday on 3/20/15 for an MIP he had gotten in 2013. He was totally unaware of the warrant he had. It doesn't make much sense as to why he hasn't gotten in trouble for it before, we've been pulled over multiple times and no cop had ever stated anything about a warrant until yesterday. After arresting my boyfriend the cops proceeded to search his car and he is now also facing charges for possession of a small amount of marijuana (about a gram) and a glass pipe. Facing all of this, will he be looking at any jail time? OR will he be sentenced to probation/ fines/ rehab classes? This is his first offense, and he has not been arrested before.

There are variables that can alter the outcome of any criminal case. He needs to consult directly with a criminal defense attorney very soon. You did not indicate in which County he was charged. If he drank as a minor and smokes dope as an adult, you might want to be careful about the time you spend with him, as he can get you in trouble.

Good luck
