Can I be charged for something not written on my citation?

What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)?

California

I was recently arrested for trespassing and I had like half a gram of weed on me which they of course found. I spent the night in jail and was released the next morning with a citation. I was cited for violation section 602 of the CA penal code (trespassing) but I wasn't cited for the weed. Can I still be charged for it even though it wasn't written on the citation?

Depends on if the cop smoked it or not?

Ur probably fine.

You are an idiot. You don't know the law. He could be charged.

I agree that he could be. However, I am not so sure that its likely that he will be.

No one said it was guarantee or a definite that he would be charged. But he can be. That was the question and that was the proper answer -- he can be.
