What is the name of your state? Louisiana
About a month before Katrina, Myself and a friend were arrested for simple possession af marijuana in St. Tammany Parish. We both made sure to attend the arraignment and were trying to take care of things properly, but this process was interrumped by the storm.
Upon my return I found out that the parish was granting amnesty to people w/ misdemeanor charges. My friend phoned in to make sure he had no warrants, and he was told he was in the clear, so we both assumed this was the case. About a week ago my friend was pulled over and arrested. As it turns out, we were supposed to turn ourselves in and plead guilty before a certain deadline.
I'm planning on turning myself in. I was hoping that there might be some chance my voluntary cooperation coupled w/ my ability to pass a drug screen might spare me any jail time. Any advice would be appreciated.
