i live in CT. My husband was arrested on drug charges. Possession of narcotic, possession of narcotic with intent, possession within 1500 feet of school, possession of controlled substance. they searched the house but really only his dresser and mine and in the attic. they asked who did the cars belong to, i said both of our names, they asked to look in my car, i said yes, i didn't know anything about what was going on. i had no idea my husband was doing anything. when i got home, they were inside. they told me they had a search warrant but they didn't show it until they left. kept asking me for financial info., if there was any money in the house, i had $200 in my jewerly box from a income tax check, they left there. cops said they had been watching him for a few months. they wanted him to continue to buy, they told him they knew he wasn't the big guy, they wanted to know who he dealt with, they wanted him to work for them. they asked about safe deposit box key on his key chain, he said it was his and his sisters. asked if they could look in it, he was scared and wanted to leave so he said yes to anything. they didn't read him his rights until they had had him for 3-4 hours. he got out on a $25, 000 bond. my husband said that they pulled him over, put guns in his face and told him to get out, handcuffed him and put him in a van, and drove him down town, when he asked what he was arrested for, they told him he would find out. They drove his car home and parked it. they gave him back his keys to his car, but not his other keys, they returned his cell phone and beeper, they also didnot trash his car when they searched, in fact they missed a couple blunts my husband had in there, that he threw away the next day. the next day, he contacted a lawyer. the lawyer told my husband that he could go to the safe deposit box and get out what ever was in there, he could not be re-arrested. he did. he had a little money and his sister had some papers in there. (we had to burrow the money for a lawyer). the cops went to his job looking for him and made a statement "we know he is out of jail, where is he" they called his cell phone and left a harrassing message on it telling him they were going to get him. we do not live an extravagant live style, we have bills, credit card bills, etc. husband admitted to me he is abusing. he was smoking over $200 worth of marijuana a week, so he started to deal to support his habit. the cops had originally told him they would keep it out of the paper, but when he went to the safe deposit box, they put it in the paper 3 days later, and there was about 8 different charges but on all his papers, he is only charged with 4, maybe they thought he had a lot of money, but we dont', i wish we did, the cops even said in the article that he was a low key drug dealer, hard working family man, family didn't even know about what he was doing, etc. they told me that everyone they spoke to about him, only had the nicest things to say about him. they also told me that people make mistakes, and hopefully learn from them. i am just really sick over this. i had no idea. he is now seeking treatment, too bad it took this for him to realize what he was doing, but then again, i gues you don't think straight when you are under. the only time he wasn't high was the 8 hours he was at work. he wanted to go in patient, but they don't do that for marijuanna abuse, i dont' know why, it screwed up his life just as if he were doing other drugs. is there any type of accelerated rehabilitation program for first time offenders? he has no record, has never been arrested, has been employed for 23 years at his job, they found an eightball (?) of coke, 14 pills of oxycontin and about an 1/8 of marijuanna. any advice, suggestions, help anything would be greatly appreciated as I am sick over this and my husband is too. Yes, I know it is his fault, he knows he did wrong, but just wondering what, if any, choices/chances is out there. we have to wait until we go to court to hear what they have, but i am just trying to find out everything i can. i would like to be as informed as i possibly can. like to know anything or if there are sites on the internet that i can look into for information. yes, he has a lawyer, and he has asked questions, but he is not my lawyer, he is my husbands, and he seems to be good, but i just would like to know any and all i can.
