What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? I am a resident of Minnesota, live in Montana and got caught in South Dakota.
I am a college student at the University of Montana and on summer vacation. Two friends and I were driving through South Dakota to go see a concert in Wisconsin and I am now in Minnesota where I grew up visiting my family. Driving through Mitchell, SD we got pulled over for speeding. The driver immediately got pulled out of the car and 10 minutes later there were drug dogs there. All three of us got charged with possession of marijuana, injest of drugs and a paraphernalia ticket. I also got a possession of controlled substance ticket for one and a half pills of adderall. I am looking at a felony charge and really need some help. I occasionally smoke marijuana, but not often and I don't think its fair that the state of South Dakota charged all of us for one bag of marijuana, which was only on one of the boys. The only reason why I had those pills was because we were traveling across the country and had to stay awake. I am a really good student and a hard worker and am not a drug addict. They instantly took us all to jail, and we had to call our parents to get bailed out. I am not a resident of South Dakota and really can not spend any jail time. I have a job back in Missoula, and after my short visit in Minnesota I am going back there to start working again. I am wondering if there is anything that this law firm can do to help me out and get me out of this mess. I really do not believe that I deserve this treatment, especially for something as minor as one and a half pills. I have a court date on July 1st. Please contact me if there is any way you guys can help me. I am willing to do community service to pay time, maybe in Montana? or I was also wondering if there is any way to get this case expicated to Montana.
