If two people have access and constructive control over the drugs, both people can be charged with it.

The charge is "possession", not ownership.

A prosecutor MIGHT elect to take a confession from one in exchange for dropping charges against another, but he does not have to do so.

He does not have to be on the lease or on anything for that matter. He was on parole which gives the officers and his probation officer the right to search any dwelling he is in whether he lives there or not.

Being on parole does not give law enforcement the right to search any residence he is in. However, they can search the locations he has access to in a residence he lives in. So, if he lives with our poster, they can search the residence if said residency can be established. If he was just visiting, then the search would generally be limited to the parolee and those areas near where he was when contacted.

If a parolee were to come into my house for coffee, it does not suddenly give a green light to a search of the entire residence.

Well, mama. I would believe your story - If I still believed in the tooth-fairy! Trust me, in most boyfriend/girlfriend relationships, if one is using drugs - both are. And being that your boyfriend is on parole (ex-con) with warrants, & you with unpaid tickets, your story is straining for credibility. Birds of a feather, flock together. As Judge Joe Brown said: It's Tough-Love time.
