Re: drug possesion

it is VERY important that he seek an attorney IMMEDIATELY, Generaly charges in Federal court vary greatly from charges in criminal court in the greater potential for heavier sentence. The Federal authorities are encharged with handling issues at borders constitutionally, as a result this case may result in serious time if found guilty.
