Find A Lawyer In Ohio
Q.This is my question for a cop or lawyer in Ohio? My stepdaughter and two friends were stopped by Athens County Ohio Sheriff. She was the driver and owner of the car. One passenger had pot and a pipe on his person. She had only a pipe. They both were charged with posession of drug paraphinalia AND marijuana, but she did not have the marijuana on her person, he did. How can this be?
A.Often times (in my experience), cops will charge a person with as much as they can and let the court sort it out later. As to whether or not the charges against your daughter will stand in a court of law, it is hard to tell with out being familiar with the criminal law and case law of your state. The thing is, a cop can charge people with almost anything on limited evidence. Those charges may not go beyond the court room, though. Unfortunately it was in her car and the pipe was in her posession which clearly showed that she was engaging in pot smoking with this person. She's guilty by law. If there was resin in the pipe, you can still be charged with possession of cannabis.
