Am I looking at jail time? Court in 3 hours! Got no response yesterday?
I tried this already but got no feedback! I have used all my allowed continuances and today 7/18/18 @ 6:00pm is my court date where I’ll have to plead either guilty or not guilty to 3 charges. 1. Leaving the scene of an accident. 2. Very small amount of marijuana possession. 3. Not sure what it’s actually called but as I was pulled out of my vehicle to speak with Overland PD someone in the back seat tossed an eye glass container with an “unknown controlled substance” into my driver side floor board. There were 3 passengers in my vehicle. I was told it would be sent to a lab to test what it is. Now I am NOT guilty of the unknown substance charge whatsoever. The “accident” was more like our mirrors tapped in road rage while the other driver drove on the wrong side of the road to get around me. I’m not sure what to plead or what to expect. Thanks for your time!

You are probably not going to serve any time even if you plead guilty, but I would consult a lawyer anyways. Pleading guilty to leaving the scene of an accident can lead to the suspension of your license. An attorney can most likely work out a plea agreement to avoid the suspension of your license.
