What is the name of your state?TN

Help if you can....

You had possession and control over an illegal substance. That meets the definition of possession of a controlled substance. Actual ownership of the stuff is of no consequence. Next time make sure you are putting on your own drawers.

I beg to differ, these are your actions. You clearly need to understand "Posession", it was found on YOUR PERSON, not in his jeans.

he new I didnt agree with being anywhere around that S#$ or it being in my house..... Then you should have watched your house a little better.

but I NEED TO KNOW WHAT I CAN DO B4 I GET VIOLATED..... No one violated you, you were caught in posession.


Please no time for B.S. Help if you can....

There you have it, bottom line, you cannot use that as a defense.

**What were you and your roommate both doing out of your pants when your wife was out walking the dog?

How were your friend's pants in your room?

And what does your attorney say? Is he overjoyed that the friend will take ownership? Or does it seem that it won't make a difference?

If you have a drug history, then I can see why they might not buy the tale.

But, from the cop perspective, you wanna take a wild guess as to how many times I hear the line, "These aren't my pants," or, "This isn't my jacket"? So, yeah, we don't believe it. Maybe because none of us have ever accidentally put on someone else's clothes.

A jacket? Maybe. But pants? How in the world does a friend's pants get on your floor or in your drawer? What's he doing dropping his drawers in your room?

I got your pm, and I would rather keep things on the forum, where others can add if they choose.

CDWJ is a police officer, so you are getting a better insight. It is just not a defense.

Now your getting off track. They wanted the puppy, not your wife.

**O.K. But that still doesn't answer the question. Why you were running around the house at 9:30 with your pants off? Did you forget where yours were? Why were your friends pants more convenient to grab than you own?

Aren't you supposed to refrain from associating with people who do drugs while on probation? Of course I could be wrong...though I don't think they encourage it while on probation.
What if your probation officer had come to your house and found the drugs there?

Be careful of the company you keep...
