Re: Penalties, Jail time
With these types of charges you need as lawyer. You are facing actual jail time, very heavy fines, and a loss of your driver's license. I am an attorney who has handled many cases similar to yours in variopus courts throughout New Jersey in the past. Please contact me to discuss your case in more detail. I never charge for simply talking to a person about their case. Thank you.

Let's put it like this...
YOU SHOULD SPEAK WITH AN EXPERIENCED CRIMINAL DEFENSE ATTORNEY ASAP
This, potentially, is VERY serious and could carry MANDATORY jail time. I've been doing this for more than 15 years and have seen some crazy things happen. A good lawyer will at least be able to present you with some options to choose from on how to proceed.
Feel free to write back direct to me with any more specific questions.

Re: Penalties, Jail time
The possession of drugs and weapons is a potent mix in terms of the potential prison sentence. A ten year prison sentence is possible. You need to hire an attorney NOW.
Call me if you like.
