CPCS 7th degree 220.03
I was arrested for - CPCS 7th Degree 220.03.
I stopped at a friends house for ten minutes. When I left a car pulled behind me & as I turned off his block I was pulled over. The officers pulled me out of my van & started searching my van saying they new I bought Crack. I told them I didn't buy anything. They continued to search my veichle and my person. I told them I had one Vicoden pill & one Oxycontin pill in my cup holder in plain site. The officer took both pills, I explained that I had a prescription for the vicoden and the oxycontin was given to me by my friend because I have a damaged leg from an attack where I have a metal plate and screws. They continued to search and found nothing. I was not ''high'' I had commited no driving violations. They said they new I was up to no good and if I didnt give them anything incriminating on the guy who I had visited they would arrest me & sieze my work vehicle/tools. They said if I complied with them and helped them ''get'' the other guy for something they would not arrest me. They made me call him & ask to buy drugs, he said no he didnt have drugs. They put me in the car and told me to just say I smoked $20 worth of crack & they would not seize my van. So I signed to that. Now whatcanIdo

Now you can do what you should have done from the start... ignore the threats and call a good... a very good criminal lawyer. Don't wait. Yes you are charged with a misdemeanor but it can cost you your drivers licence.
For future reference after giving your name and address demand to speak to a lawyer. Do not pay any attention to what they say they will do. They will probably do it anyway, and a good lawyer can always get it undone.

Good luck.

What you can do is fight these charges. You did a bad thing by signing a false confession; now you should not compound the problem by pleading guilty to something you didn't do.
