What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? Kentucky
My question has to do with a deferment. I had Public Intoxication charge back in September and the county attorney deferred it for 6 months under the condition that I get no more arrests. The other day I was leaving the methadone clinic(I have been in treatment now for almost 6 years) and went across the street to the local Shell Mart, upon returning to my car I was surrounded by the city police with the intentions of taking me to jail on a PI of controlled substance,which they did, now I have another charge on top of my deferred charge and I am afraid of a jail sentence even though I was not high, after you have taken methadone for as long as I have you do not get high anymore. This is a small town and everyone hates the clinic anyway, they do not want it here. By the way, I told him to please not arrest me because I had a class that morning when I told him it was for nursing he made bad remarks about how I look like somebody that needs to be a nurse and also told me he was going to see to it personally that I was kicked out of the clinic. So does this small town city cop have that kind of power, to actually have me kicked out of treatment after being in there for that long, and also he accused me of having blue powder in my nose, not there, he wanted to know what it was and I told him I did not know what he was talking about, so he began naming off drugs and finally came to his conclusion that I was taking xanax with my methadone, not true either. What was worse this happened at 7 AM that morning and the people at the jail wouldn't let me have my phone call that I know I was entitled to so my husband and kids thought I was dead. My seventy year old mother almost had a heart attack thinking I was dead, she even called the jail and they informed her that I wasn't there. All I can say is they better be glad nothing happened to my mother. This was a nightmare and I'm afraid there will be another one when I have to go to court. Should I plead not guilty? IF I am found not guilty then it shouldn't affect my deferment should it. Seriously, I am trying to do something with my life and go to nursing school, but I'll never be accepted if the local law enforcement doesn't stop harassing me. What's worse is I can't do anything about it and they know it. I am seriously thinking of changing my major to criminal law, just so one day I might be able to return the favor. If anyone can make any sense out of all this mess please answer me and you can email me at [email protected] if you have any info to help me. Thanks to all that replies.....
