What is the name of your state? TN

My sister was arrested on a drug felony charge about 30 minutes ago. Someone called a complaint on them at their apartment complex and the cops went in to investigate. They found cocaine, marijuana, and some parafinailya. My mom had to go and pick up her kids. That is how we found out. Her boyfriend was telling the police that the stuff was his, but I think she might hav used the stuff too.

What should we do for her, and how serious is this??

It's very serious, especially with kids around. She needs a lawyer.

What is/are the exact statute(s) she was charged with? (by the way, possession does not mean ownership; even if the bf owned all the drugs, she was still in possession of them)

Will she be able to get her kids back?

Her bf was on probabtion so he is going away for a while

There is no way for us to guess if she will be getting her children back. What is the custody situation now with the grandmother??

There is no way for us to give you the fines/jail time, without the actual statute information.
