Ask a Lawyer QuestionCountry: United States of AmericaState: New Jersey I got arrested with friend who had one only one bag of crack. She did not claim possession, thus I got arrested. Not a friend anymore. However it was in Paterson, in and knocked from superior court to municipal court. I am 39 years old never been in trouble with the law ever! I can't sleep, I am so nervous because of reading these federal minimum laws; they say a year in jail. Will I go to jail? AnswerMake sure you get counsel (or at least the public defender) to try to keep this off your record eventually--jail time is probably not likely if your record is very clear now. But having that arrest and/or a conviction on your record will make job-hunting etc. more difficult. Often this could be negotiated down to some kind of court supervision etc. If it eventually appears it cannot be negotiated down, please let us know.Want to thank TFD for its existence?
