Busted for pot + HUGE PROBLEM!!! URGENT!

Okay. my friend got busted for a small amount of weed and they slapped a citation on him. So he's supposed to show up in court, but the big problem is that there's this college hockey team out of state that he's supposed to leave to today. The court date's on the 21st of this month. When he called the number on the ticket, they said if he doesn't show up on that date there will be a warrant out for his arrest. He has to leave to this team, what the hell can I tell him?

He's supposed to be there for 5 months, and he's trying to make a career out of hockey so this is really important to him. They can't push court dates back that far, can they? Thanks for the help!

If it is just a citation.. he should be able to just pay the fine and plead no contest. Not alot is gonna come out of the court appearance anyway.
It does depends on what the exact charges were. If you give me the code and the state Ill see what I can dig up for you.
Hope that helps.

If I were your friend.....
I would not miss anything important to go to court. You call them and tell them you aren't coming that day and want it changed, if they won't do it fuck them. You can go back in later and get the warrant quashed and have a new court date set. I've gone into court after having a bench warrant out for over 2 years and they quashed it without making me post bail. I just said I was out of the area. A bench warrant isn't shit, they won't come looking for you, and it won't matter if you are out of state (and in many cases, out of county, but that just depends how worthless the cops want to be).
I've dealt with our sorry ass criminal justice system for years, and it's all a total joke in my opinion. I don't stress out about court dates and that kind of shit because I have absolutely no respect for the system or any of the people involved in it. If I don't want to go to court I don't go. And I have never been picked up on warrant. Just make sure you don't get pulled over

Yeah, I wouldn't think the system would try and run a guy into the ground who was holding under an eighth of chronic... Anyways, I guess he's postponing leaving and is gonna try going to court tomorrow and get it all cleared and then leave. Thanks for the help!

Stay in town for the law and forget the sport. Wise plan, hope it works out for you.

Have your friend call the court and find out who the presiding judge will be. Then he/she should contact that judge's office and tell them that he is trying to retain an attorney and will need a little more time before appearing in court. They should be able to pull his/her docket and push it back a week or two. Worked for me once.

I think were a bit biased on this one.. Most f us are brought to charish hockey more than life itself.. If he has to go to jail than it would be an honorable act.. You can't miss a hockey game man..
