What is the name of your state? Texas
My wife was recently arrested in Oklahoma at a roadblock. I don't think she would have been arrested, but she "resisted an officer" and had an expired driver license. She has been treated for mental illness. She has a bad habit of not putting her lids on her medicine bottles. She would put the pills back in the first bottle she found. So the officers found a couple of bottles with various pills with them. She was charged with possession of CDS. The majority of what she had was OTC type drugs (aspirin, Aleve, Excedrin) although it is very possible she had prescription meds plus she was taking two controlled meds (Lorcet and something else). She told me she was about out of her controlled meds, since she was overdue to see the doctor. So it is unlikely they found anything controlled. I think the officers saw the pill mix and assumed there was a good chance of something controlled in there, thus the charge. I think I can provide a legal prescription for any controlled drugs they may have found. She was arrested in June and I still can't get a copy of the lab report. How long does this take?
Our lawyer said that the D.A. had mentioned possibly amending the Possession charge to not having medication properly bottled/packaged. Is there such a charge or law? Old people use the tablet organizers (by days of the week) to keep their tablets in. Note the tablets are not in the original bottle. These old people are not arrested. Would appreciate any advice.
