Legal Question in Criminal Law in Washington

vucsa/possession of a controled substance with intent to manufacture or deliver

My ol man was released from prison and I had with me approx. 56 grams of marijuana in a bag in a car and we were arrested within 20 mins of his being released, he had no knowledge of the marijuana in the car. He is doc active. The car is in my name and the bag was mine, this happend in Snohomish county, they let me go and kept him on these charges. I told them that it was all mine and that he had no knowledge of it. They detained him. What are our options and what are the legal ramifications? He has a 10,000 bail but there is a doc hold on him.

Re: vucsa/possession of a controled substance with intent to manufacture or deliver

Why were you arrested? Stop making statements that the marijuana was yours. They need to prove he knew the marijuana was there for a new charge. Given the facts you say, I don't see how they can do that. In the meantime, he'll have to sit tight. I know that's bad news and I'm sorry. But there is no point in posted in the bail with a doc hold on him anyway.
