2nd offence

ggregones · 08-16-2007, 05:15 PM

I recently recieved a speeding ticket and 2nd offence marijuana possession charges. I got the charges in a county that is between my home county and where I will be living during the school year. What should I do? My arraignment is on 8-21-07 thats in 3 business days! I need help I can't go to jail because my senior year college courses begin on 8-27-07, but what else is more likely if I go in and plead guilty to both? I'll just be put in jail for 30 days automatically probably and then I'll probably have to drop all my first semester classes and wait till next year which I cannot do. When I was on probation for the first possession/DWI I dropped dirty once at the beginning and then recieved two m.i.p's which landed me 14 days on weekends in jail. I just got off of that probation this past May and now 3 months later I get busted with weed again... WHAT SHOULD I DO?
P.S. I don't know if it helps but I live in Michigan.

Hire legal counsel to negotiate that for you. Jail time is not likely but you also want to keep that off your record if possible.

Thanks that's pretty much what I figured, I have to have a lawyer.
