I was arrested, booked and charged with 23152 and 11550 and posted bail. My first court date is in early July.
I was arrested at the border checkpoint. I'm a 40+ mom with no priors.
I had a blood test taken and field sobriety tests. The blood test will most likely show that my level of xanax was higher than my prescription allowed.
In addition, in my car were several other american and mexican prescriptions for controlled substances. I declared the controlled substances that I had purchased and admitted to taking too much xanax that day. I may also have admitted that I have a sedative problem and had been purchasing controlled substances in Mexico. I gave the officer a list of five psychotropic drugs that I legally have prescriptions for and regularly take in the US.
My car was stored, but I got it back the next day. In the car were all of the controlled substances that I had with me at the time of arrest. My license was not suspended.
I need advice on whether or not to hire an attorney, and what the legal ramifications could be. I want to look down the road as to future employment and volunteer positions in deciding what to do. I'm willing to take punishment, I just want to explore what the best options would be for my family and future life.What is the name of your state?What is the name of your state?
