Question:

What is the penalty for bringing drugs into a police station? The police want her to snitch to “drop” the charges.  My sister is trying to get clean from a heroin addiction and wants to go to rehab. She went into a police station with the drugs and was arrested. The police want her to snitch on someone to allegedly drop the charges. Obviously snitching could be very dangerous and I want to advise her against it. So how severe are the charges she may be looking at?

Answer:

Your sister needs to contact and experienced criminal defense attorney. She should not be talking to the police about her case or anyone else’s illegal activity without first consulting an attorney who can ensure that her rights are protected. Her penalty for drug possession charges will vary depending upon her prior criminal history, the strength of the case against her and the nature of the specific charges. It’s best to retain counsel for these issues. There are many excellent attorneys on this forum. Good luck.
