What is the name of your state? NC
Ok I dont want to bore anyone here but to make a long story very brief. I was pulled over on a very weak probable cause. Said i would get a warning and be on my way. Asked me to step out of the car and wait in the cruiser. I complied. After a long time the found two glass pipes(marijuanna) and .3 gram of MJ and two ww2 bayonets. What sucks is that I had forgotten that the knives were in my car. They were passed down to me from my dead grandfather and in one of my moves must have fallen out of a box or something. Either way i didnt place them there intentionally nor did I know where they were in the car. At the time i was so scared, for lack of a better word, that I failed to mention them because i was more worried about the drugs. This all took place on july 26th. I do have a lawyer who seems to be good and connected. He says that the DA is having a hard time issueing me deffered prosecution because of the knives. He would like me to write a paragraph about how the knives came to be in the car. Total of 3 misdemeanors, possesion, paraph., and concealed weapons. This is also a first offense. I have a clean record, not even a speeding ticket, and am 21. Any advice about the paragraph I should write that could help my case but also be truthful? Since I dont know how exactly they came to be in my car, i am afraid of saying something that isnt true then to have it hurt even worse later on. Also what kind of charges can I be facing if everything went wrong. What kind of probation would I hope to get if everything went right. How difficult would it be to get this taken off my record at a later date if it goes wrong. Any suggestions, advice, ect..? Also I am graduating in May and would like to have deffered prosectuion in order for this to not affect my job search. Thank you for your time
