    #19265225 - 12/12/13 10:57 AM (10 years, 2 months ago)

Okay so lets start this off by saying that I have been arrested for pot but that is it. It was also a misdemeanor charge. My buddy gave me this laptop a couple of months back and I had been using it. I used it for about 3 months and no problems. So two days ago, the police came to my mothers work and asked about the laptop, said it was stolen and asked if i would turn it in. I took it up to the police and they arrested me for possession of stolen property 2nd degree felony charge. I am 19 years old and want to join the military. i was wondering if anyone could help me out so I can kind of expect what is going to happpen when I go to court..Thanks.

This is serious.  Do yourself a favor, get a lawyer.

Little situation? Sounds like any chance you had in the military just went up in smoke. :uhoh:

sounds like your friend fucked you over.

Also, what do you mean he 'gave' you a laptop?  You didnt think it was weird he just gave you a laptop without buying it off him or any sort of exchange?

This. And in the meantime, you could look for Enlil's "ask a defense attorney" thread and explain your situation there to get a better idea of what you're dealing with. In future it might be a good idea to ask more questions when you're offered something like this. You also have to wonder how the police figured out that you had it, seems likely that this "friend" sold you out.

Lol no.. Military would be a good choice.. Unless you're going to jail (highly doubt it) military would be a good idea.

Like mentioned earlier, get a lawyer. You shouldn't be in any trouble because you had no 'intent' of committing a crime. If anything, maybe your friend (how much of a friend is this friend) should be the one getting in trouble.

. I am getting a lawyer, but you don't think I could get a waiver from a recruiter? I have family in the Forces too. Do you think that could help? I am also positive this person told the police that he gave it to me, and he is no longer my friend. Where can i find this threaad?

I wouldn't say jack to the recruiter until this thing is over.  Then decide what to say and when to say it.

Thats what I was thinking I was just going to wait till everything blows over. There is a good chance that i will get my charges dropped because I came in by myself and turned it in. Who knows though cops are tricky bitches.

Stick to your story and do it without a shred of apprehension. This can go fine but you need to make sure they realize it's a misunderstanding. You will be fine, the more you worry the more you are going to be detrimental. Good luck dude.

Your "friend" is a dick.

That was the plan the whole time haha. I'm not freaking out too bad. It's more just suspense of waiting. Yes, yes he is a dick.

I'm kind of confused from your post. What's your friend statement on the whole matter? Was he the one who told the police that you stole his laptop?

Stay far from timid, only make moves when your heart's in it.

Yeah I mean it probably helps that he freely chose to bring it in to the police station. Those are the actions of someone who had no idea that the thing was stolen, and wanted to make things right as soon as they found out. He could just as easily have ditched the evidence and denied everything, and would have nothing but the "friend's" word if they came looking for it and found nothing. Instead, the OP did the right thing and the original owner will be getting their property back.

If you're super cooperative, you may cooperate yourself right into a jail cell.  Listen to whatever your lawyer says.  But if this supposed friend pointed the cops to you, and you had the laptop, then good luck proving this friend had anything to do with it at all.  At this point there's no evidence that points to anyone but OP, really.

Never talk to the police! It is a simple rule, but nobody seems to follow it.

They probably don't since he's already been charged, but hopefully the court does.
