Question

  09/20/12, 9:09 am
Yesterday I was smoking marijuana with a few buddies in a spot we unknowingly weren't supposed to be in. I had a small pipe and a small amount of marijuana on my person. As soon as the cops showed, I panicked and ran because I have college scholarships that I can't afford to lose. Dumb, I know. In the end they caught me and I gave up my stuff. They gave me an Unlawful Possession of Marijuana ticket and a Class A misdemeanor for resisting arrest. I was just wondering what my options may be. I was just in court for another UPM I received a month or so ago which will most likely be reduced by the DA.

Your best option at this point, since as you state this is your second UPM is to be represented by an attorney. Yes, these are misdemeanors, but they are starting to add up to a record and you need to discuss the facts of both cases with an attorney to get the best possible outcome.
