What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? Massachusetts
Does your city publish every arrest they make in the paper? I find that difficult to believe. What makes you think anyone is going to be able to talk to the police and convince them not to press more charges if the cops have evidence that tells them you have done more than just traffic heroin?Thanks for the reply so I got charged with possession and intent to distribute cause it was over 10 grams I just don't want to say what the additional charges are. I know it could take up to a year or more to indict me on ms.... but by my case not being in the newspaper makes me think someone on the other end has talked to the police or damage and told them not to put it in the paper or not ad new charges because I would have to tell my side of the story and the family name will get embarrassed. I could be wrong but why would it not be in the newspaper? In Dec it will be 5 months since I got arrested
It would be unlikely for a large city paper like say the Washington Post or LA times to do that. But it is not that unusual for small town newspapers (and some of those still do exist) to do that. The newspaper for the small town I lived in during high school printed not only every arrest and police complaint, but also every single traffic ticket issued. If you were a kid and got into trouble, there was no way to hide it from your parents or anyone else in town — it’d be right there in the paper for everyone to see.Does your city publish every arrest they make in the paper?

I doubt that high school offenders were named. Most newspapers in the country (both large and small) will not publish the names of minors. Not only are the names of minors generally redacted from the public records available to the press, it is a long-standing and well-recognized ethical policy of newspapers to not publish the names of minors.It would be unlikely for a large city paper like say the Washington Post or LA times to do that.

If you are who I think you are...you have already embarrassed your family name.Thanks for the reply so I got charged with possession and intent to distribute cause it was over 10 grams I just don't want to say what the additional charges are.

Like Zigner said earlier, it is not smart to "shout out" one's crimes on the internet.If you are who I think you are...you have already embarrassed your family name.
At least she was "smart enough" to use a fake name...Like Zigner said earlier, it is not smart to "shout out" one's crimes on the internet.
Wendell needs an attorney before he helps convict himself. I hope he hasn't used his real name here.
That is good to hear.At least she was "smart enough" to use a fake name...
