What is the name of your state? NY

I 16 and i was busted with buying beer with a false ID. After this they searched me and found a half o of weed, bags, and a scale. The cops said they would lessen the charges if i wrote a written statement saying i brought the beer from the deli. So i did. The cops said put the ticket that i was going to court on the charges of marijuana possesion and for impersonating someone. I was wondering if im in alot of trouble. The cops said in all likey hood i would get 2 misdemeanors and that because im a minor that it will basically not effect once i turn 19 because my record will then be close. Am i in alot of trouble or is this true what the cops said.

You're lucky they didn't get you for intent to distribute since you had a scale and bags with you. I'd say you're getting off lucky!

Get a lawyer and you may be able to plead this down even further. It'll be the best money you ever spend.
 
I certainly hope you are learning something. I believe you are lucky they did not tack on a few more charges to this custody arrest. Usually a Juvenile when charged as a juvenile is just that. Their are exceptions to the rule but only in higher crimes or measure 11 type crimes. Once you turn of age when you are no longer a Juvenile then these charges should not follow. I would really take this opportunity to turn your life to another cross road. You are headed for a fall. Good Luck. For what it's worth Not Advice. Patrolman/J. Buckner
