[QUOTE="DammitJanet, post: 557481, member: 1514"] I am gonna ask a few questions. You said he was arrested for pot and paraphernalia. How much pot? Was it just personal use ie. less than half an ounce and not bagged up to sell? If so, he is probably not in too much trouble. Misdemeanor charge. Tell him to ask for a public defender and then get them to roll the charges into simple possession of one or the other and that will be that. Or that is what I would advise. He didnt get caught selling meth. I realize some think I am a bit lenient. However you seem to have a fairly smart kid who has a scholarship to a university and if you can keep him going that is to his benefit. I hate to say this but lots of kids in college smoke and drink. Now I would never allow him access to a car because of his DWI. No way. I would make him pay his court fines. Normally the courts will tell him what the fines are and then ask him how long it will take him to pay them? Normally they will say something like we will give you two or three months and you will be on probation for a year but the kid doesnt get off of probation until the court fees are paid. Can you tell I have been through this a time or 12? [/QUOTE]
