Ohio Law Question About Drug Abuse….?
Question by Nurse in Ohio: Ohio law question about drug abuse….?
Ok, my hubby had his license suspended in feb 06, and last week he got pulled over with no license. He went before the judge and is being convicted of: carrying a concealed weapon, drug paraphenilia, and drug abuse. The judge said a possible minimun of 21 months in jail if found guilty. He plead not guilty. We go back on aug 1st to see what happens. My questions are:
1: It’s his first offense. Do they have to serve jail time, or just a fine and probation(for the first offense)?
2: Aren’t the jails over-crowded anyways?
Please, serious answers only.
Thanks.
Also, if he plead “not guilty”, will it look like he lied in front of the judge if found guilty???

Ouch- yes, Ohio laws are sucky but if your hubby didn’t have his lisecense, he can get some jail time, HOWEVER, it usually will get reduced to almost no time if any. Try getting a good lawyer, Ohio police are tough. GOOD LUCK!!!!
