What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? Arizona
I was driving back to Arizona from California with a friend 2 weeks ago. We got to a border patrol stop in which the officers had drug dogs. The dog immediately smelled marijuana in the car and the officers found a pipe as well as about a half ounce of marijuana in the car.
Since the marijuana and pipe belonged to my friend, she took the blame for it and they ended up giving her a ticket for marijuana possession as well as paraphenelia. She is 19 and has already received a DUI in the past year. I know that Arizona courts sometimes refrain from giving harsh treatments (jail time, etc.) to first time offenders. However, I was wondering what effect her DUI might have on the marijuana charge. It would suck to see my friend go to jail, but is that what it might come down to???
