Above I have listed the charges followed by the explanation that was already printed on the citation or written in by the officer.
It was a Saturday night and I was headed to a friends 18th birthday. I pulled into a local gas station to purchase a dutch around 9:00 pm. I got back into my truck and pulled over to the side parking lot and began "rolling up my blunt" it was only seconds later when an undercover cruiser pulled up beside me. A lady and guy officer jumped out of the car with flashlights pointing all inside of my truck. In the center console I had about .5 grams of marijuana, two bottles of corona (one opened the other unopened) and the cigar itself and a knife I had used to cut the cigar. I dropped everything and put my hands on the steering wheel. They asked me the usually. To make a long story short, I was personally searched along with my truck. I was very cooperative followed with mam and sir. BACKGROUND: I was in some trouble in VA as I just recently moved to NC last year in June. All of my charges were dismissed after satisfactory performance while I was on probation and complied with all orders requested by the court. I was 16 at the time. I am currently a senior at the local high school and my grades are all B's in honors courses, I have my own lawn care service with about 13 customers, I played football and golf this year. Basically to sum it up, I don't think I'm a horrible child, I just have made some STUPID mistakes. My main concerns are if my earlier charges that were dismissed will come back up during this situation. Please any advice is greatly appreciated, I will be consulting with an attorney later next week. It would just be helpful to be informed on this situation before hand. Again thank you in advance for any advice.
