Can I get arrested if drugs are found in my repossessed car?

Answered by attorney Lawrence Lewis (Unclaimed Profile)
Criminal Law lawyer at Lawrence Lewis, P.C.
Yes, but you probably will not be arrested, because the police cannot prove that someone else did not leave marijuana in the vehicle

What does found guilty but defer adjudication mean?

Answered by attorney Edward Jerome Blum (Unclaimed Profile)
Criminal Law lawyer at Law Office of Edward J. Blum
Its a kind of diversion. He was probably ordered to do something when he comes back in two years if he's done it his case is dismissed or sentences less harshly.

Am I going to jail for storing stolen items?

Patrick Owen Earl
Answered by attorney Patrick Owen Earl
Criminal Law lawyer at Patrick O. Earl
Sounds like you didn't know the stuff was stolen?? Did you?? If you did then yes you are looking at getting convicted of this crime and yes there is possible jail time. It isn't for sure. If you didn't know anything about these items being stolen and "shouldn't have known they were stolen due to common sense" then you have a good case and you should get an attorney and talk with him/her about this situation. Actually you need to have an attorney no matter what the situation you are in so that your rights are protected.
