California-----my boyfriend ws caught with steroids in his car after being pulled over for suposed illegal turn. while going threw the court process his court dates had been continuely mixed up and many times they had given him dates to show up on and they didn't even have him written up for that date. The last time he went they sid he had missed his last court date. so they then arrested him, put him in handcuffs and told him his options were to fight his case in jail, register as a drug affendor, or go through drug treatment and be on probation for 18 months while taking 2 drug tests a week. he did choose the drug tretment and probation. was this gone about the right way? was the judge able to put him in tht situation with only those three options? it being his first missed date and all?
