I Was Busted!! I Need Help!

[Shawn]

i was busted for 1594 thai anabol at my mailbox. as soon as i picked it up, 1 customs agent and 2 sherrif deputies arrested me and booked me locally here at a sheriff station. my bail was $16,000 but i was released the next morning by the detective. he told me i would get a letter and might get probation. this was june 7, 2002.

two days ago on Aug 7, 2002 i received a letter from the DA stating that i have violated section HS 11378 POSSESSION FOR SALE OF A CONTROLLED SUBSTANCE and that my arraignment will be held Aug 28, 2002 here in Downtown, Los Angeles, CA.

my question is, do i need a lawyer for this? what's going to happen to me? i actually called the DA and asked him, he told me it is very possible i could get substantial jail time, up to 1 year. i am very young, never committed a felony before, and 1594 dbol could be a number for personal use. 3 cycles if using 50mg per day for 8 week cycles. i know i could say this was for personal use because it was indeed. please help me before i appear for arraignment. thanks alot!!

Dude, that is a pretty awful situation. Personally, I would get a laywers help for anything that could potentially be a felony. How much did you tell the police at the time of your arrest??? Did you make a formal statement that could be used against you later???
Did they pressure you to turn in your source???

I'm not an expert, but this board is a great place to find good info.

Best of luck brother

yes

yes i cooperated with them fully. the detective and I had a good conversation over this and he was being sarcastic most of the time. this was an order from thailand so i made a terrible mistake. i told the police everything. i let them search my room and i told them i dont have anything else besides syringes, t3 and clomid. i did not make any formal statements that could be used against me. the detective was so cool, in fact, he did not want names or sources. i would never do so anyway, but he still did not want to hear anything and that was odd. i liked it. he also told me he doesn't care about people using it, but when it comes to selling, and getting packages from thailand, he will go by the book.

Why in the HELL would you call the DA before you would call a Defense Attourney is beyond me brother. If you opened your mouth up and admitted everything already(which I can tell that you did, since you sound like you are scared shitless and probably thought that it would help you out to be honest with the people who are trying to prosecute you--which it won't), then you're already fucked as far as filing any 4th Amendment violations, so your best bet now is to get a Lawyer that can help you get probation. By the way man, since when is "up to a year" signifigant jail time?? I doubt that if that is the worst punishment that you could get, that you will ever see the inside of a jail-cell, especially if you've never been in trouble before.

Call yourself an Attourney who is actually on YOUR side, & commense to shutting your big mouth, before you get yourself into more trouble is my advice.

zerxes, i did not admit anything they didn't already know. they caught me red-handed, and i was booked. he asked me how much he will find in my home, i told him nothing besides what i listed above. i was in a jail-cell the entire-day and night. i was not in a room where they investigated the case further. the detective later came to the jail-cell and told me i dont need to call bail-bonds, and i will be released tonight. so i did the next morning because of a screw-up between the deputies. and he told me i would get this letter. and how can i get myself into more trouble? i am looking for good information from you. please help me and there is no need for flaming.

Speaking from experience, I can tell you that if the worst punishment that he can get is up to a year in Jail, then this IS NOT a Felony charge. Felony charges are punishable by a year OR MORE in PRISON. Misdemeanors(which is what this will be-trust me)are punishable by UP TO A YEAR in JAIL. There are signifigant differences. I know this dude is shitting bricks now, but I can guarantee you that he will NOT do any time. In fact, if he gets more than 1 year probation, I would be shocked.
