Is my buddy going to jail?

Ok, so this is the story (its short)

So my friend, was kicked out of his house last year and he was living on the street for like 2 months.
When he was living on the streets he had no money no food, nothing. so he started stealing things.....well one day someone came out to him gave him a credit card, and it was stolen. He used it and was busted for Identity theft and paraphernalia. He did 1 month in jail. He was released last month, he is going to be placed on probation if he doesnt get in any shit for 30 days. If he doesnt get the probation he will be sent back to jail.

so heres the thing last sunday night he was at a friends house and he needed a ride, he called some girl. she came with one of her friends, and he had weed....They got pulled over and the car was searched. they found the bud and now her friend (owner of the weed) and my buddy are being charged for it.

The judge said NO MORE SHIT! Is he going back to jail???

This is in America? What state?

Usa illinois

Jail or extended probation -probably.

Thats what I was thellin him.....

polls look like hes going back

Who's car was it and where was the bud found? Exactly what was your buddy charged with? Posession?

Tell the guy he needs to get a lawyer, public defendent whatever.

Also tell him to get that girl to show up to court with him the day of his appearance and state that it was her weed and he did not even know that she had it!

Shit the girl is going to be charged for it anyway so she should at least try to help him out.

At least where I live they treat probation violations very seriously. I have done a couple of 90 day stints and it fucking sucks. Your friend HAS to get a Lawyer!!!

It was in the glove box and it was locked, cops told them if they dont open it he will break it open.

he has a lawyer and the girl isnt getting charged, her friend is. He told them it was his.

He told the cops that it was his weed?

If so, then he is stupid and fucked, and should be going to jail

Should have let them break it open. What was their probable cause to search?

yea dude i duno how the laws are there but fuck they need a legit reason to start a search like that...specially if the glove box was locked! you have to know your rights and stand up to cops in a reasonable fashion or they will walk all over you. sounds like your boy is screwed if he said that the weed was his. if not, he should def bring whoever is taking the blame for it to court with him and tell the judge...that could be the only way to save him from extented jail time.

you won't get a definite answer here but chances are he will, but either way If his own family kicked him out he must be a fuck up.

Ur friend really needs a Lawyer big Time! if he doesnt get one and he just does what his instinct tells him he is FOR sure going back to jail

The truth is the truth. Seems kind of messed up to choose the streets so one can smoke. Sounds like they gave him a choice and he chose.
