My husband and I live in Batesville, AR, where our 21 year old son resides with us. Friday evening my son went to Tunica, Mississippi, with a friend. They were arrested in Hernando, Mississippi and incarcerated. My son was charged with possession of chemicals to manufacture and felony possession of a controlled substance. My son claims that he knew nothing of the contraband that was in the rented vehicle of his friend. (Of course, I know this may or may not be true!). His bond is $510,000 and his 1st appearance in court is August 18. Now for my question: How should we go about obtaining an attorney for our son? Should we hire one from Hernando, Mississippi or obtain one in Arkansas. How do we find a good one? Please offer any other advice that may be helpful.

My response:

You should hire a criminal defense attorney in Mississippi. Call the State Bar of Mississippi for a referral to an attorney and consultation.

He KNEW ... he's guilty, or else he would have never gone, or he would have tried to escape when they got gas or went to the bathroom...unless the friend held a gun to his head.......$510,000 bond means lots of drugs!

I really hope they had a gun, maybe he can BS them about the friend was going to KILL him if he fled.

Other then that... in backwoods Mississippi, well maybe Life.
