What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)?
WISCONSIN
Hello.
I was just informed a family member has been arrested for sale of a small amount of a controlled substance, along with resisting/obstructing police. He has no prior convictions and has never been suspected of, or investigated for any crimes. In short, he is not a drug dealer. At this point I'm not certain of the circumstances of his arrest, but from what I can gather I believe he was at an event where large amounts of drug-related stings where taking place and made the mistake of selling a portion of his stash (designated for his personal use) to the wrong inquirer. Allegedly.
He is currently still in jail and will be until tomorrow at which time he will undergo further processing (during business hours) before being eligible to make bail.
My question, first, is whether there is anything that can be done to expedite his release?
Second, he is currently a college student. Is there anyway, were he to in some manner admit guilt, for him to enter in an agreement whereby he is allowed to keep his federal education benefits that would normally be revoked under the Aid Elimination Provision of the "Higher Education Act"? Possibly by making some type of restitution ($$) if necessary?
If someone could reply as soon as possible I would greatly appreciate it. Not to pull on heartstrings, but this is a good kid who made a boneheaded mistake. He has a bright future and this could really mess it all up. I would be indebted to any advice I can get on his behalf.
Thank you for your consideration.
