What is the name of your state? FL
I'm sure over the ensuing days and weeks I will have a few questions. My idiot son got arrested last night for drug possession. Since he got arrested again after I told him that if it happened again I wouldn't bail him out, he's now going to sit in jail for a bit.
I hate tough love but it was his choice.
I haven't had the chance to talk to him yet. He left a message telling me where he was and I looked on the arrest section of our jails site and found him. All I know so far is he had oxycodone and it's a 3rd degree felony. He had some other substance that was a misdemeanor but is now also a 3rd degree felony after his court appearance today.
Since I won't be bailing him out he will be sitting in jail until his next court appearance on Oct 12. I will however hire an attorney for him to try and get the felony charges dropped lower if possible. He may choose to be a dick and ruin his chances at getting a job better than lawn service but I would like to help him out to some degree. (no offence to lawn service people it's just the mad mom talking)
So, my question (bet you didn't think I had one coming) is.... how serious are these charges? What are our chances of getting them lowered and how much time might he be looking at and will they offer a drug program at all and if they do is it any better than the driving programs they have for tickets?
Thanks so much to any help you offer. I've spent a fair amount of time looking around and I must say I'm impressed by what I've seen.
