Walmart just dump you in the rear huge trash container and you are never heard from it again, by prob 2 illegal imigrants.
I really dont think they will even be geting jail time, maybe some fines and community service, and if its someone who is 16 like you then the same or less.
you are better off doing 30-60 days in jail than taking any kind of probation . if your lifestyles as it is you wont complete it ....time is always way eaiser than paper .
Little known fact: 'Being high' isn't a prosecutable crime. (yet) If your friend admits to nothing, and was not caught in possession of junk or spikes- big brother will harrass her, make all sorts of horrible threats, and then release her without bringing charges. This assumes they fail to get a confession.
the key factor in this if she had any drugs and/or pariphernalia on her possession at the time. If no, she may be committed to a detox center and maybe a short term psych ward. It is not common at all for someone to go to jail just for being high. regardless of what happens to her, you need to tell her to lay off the junk. Just tell her to smoke dank mj and presc opiates (hydrocodone, oxycodone) and if those aren't strong enough encourage her to go to a methadone clinic to get off smack.
Reardon Metal was right, it won't amount to much if she didn't have drugs in her possession. About the only charge they can lay on you would be maybe public intox, which would just be a fine. But the cops will tell you anything. They'll even lie to try to find out where you got it. Just clam up and ask for a lawyer, and they'll probably just let you go.
