Got arrested out of school today...

Never did I think I would get caught. Today was an eye opener and I realized how stupid I was for thinking that it couldn't happen to me.
Well anyway, I sell cigarettes and weed. I get cartons from the Indian Reservation and sell packs in school. I only sold weed outside of school. Today was in the process of selling a pack to a friend. A teacher saw him handing me money and thought it was suspicious and sent us to to an administrator. I told the administrator that he owed me money and that's all there was to it but they searched me anyway. All they find is a pack of cigarettes which they don't care about. Then they talk to my friend my himself and then they talk to me by myself again. They say that they heard that I was selling cigarettes and asked if it was true. They say that if I admit to it then they will just let me off and tell me not to do it again. It did not even cross my mind that this friend could have snitched on me and that they found it out from him. stupid. I reason that they are lying to me and are not going to let me off if I admit to it so I deny it. They then ask me if I drive to school and I say yes. They ask me if there's anything in my car that shouldn't be there and I don't answer. Obvious give away. They tell me that this is my chance to be honest with them since they're going to search my car so I tell them that there are cigarettes in my car. They ask if there's any marijuana and I say yes. So they search my car, find a 1/4 oz, 3 cartons of cigarettes, a scale, little baggies, rolling paper, my bowl, and 2 vicodin pills. I completely forgot that I had vicodin. I bought them like 3 weeks ago but never took them and had never taken them previously. So now they know that I'm selling weed and cigarettes and think that I'm selling pills too. They then try to get me to snitch on any other kids in the school that do or sell drugs. I ask them if I'm going to be arrested and they say they don't know. They tell me that if I give names then they would put in a good word for me at the superintendent's hearing since I'm getting suspended anyway. I tell them that I'm not going to snitch and they didn't seem to believe that I'm not associated with heroin and other harder drugs. They also say that I'm having an attitude with them which is bullshit. So they call the cops, I sit there for like an hour while they fill out paper work, I get handcuffed really tight (still have the marks on my wirsts) and escorted out of school. While driving to the precinct, the cop tells me that weed kills brain cells. I tell him that I don't believe that and he's like, oh so you're a doctor now? I tell him that I'm as much of a doctor as he is which ticks him off.
We get to the precinct and I get finger printed, get a mug shot taken, all that nonsense and then sit handcuffed for over an hour. My parents came to get me which was the worst part because my mom called me "a fucking asshole" when i got out. That didn't make me feel too good. I was forced to get my hair cut short and am grounded until June. My court date is in May and I'm not allowed to communicate with friends anymore because they are apparently a bad influence.
My number one worry now is getting kicked out of the college I'm supposed to attend next fall. So much shit can change your life in the course of a day...

 

So, how'd you get arrested, exactly, and how bad could it have been if you're now at home on your computer?

 

I think it's hilarious when people think they won't ever get caught selling weed at schools.

Well...hopefully you get off easy.

 

First office Red stache asked me....

What do you want the play by play? silly kid

Possible loss of college acceptance, possible loss of federal education funds (if needed), dont see a problem here at all. silly kid

 

Yeah... Exchanging money in front of teachers is a bad idea. That sucks though dude, hopefully you don't get charged with too much shit.

 

That's unfortunate man. I think that the deal with privacy and school is total bullshit, but the rules have been the way they are for ages. The thing about dealing is knowing the boundaries and not crossing too many of them.

 

My mom spoke to my principal today who she is actually friends with from high school (she dated his brother). He said that he has no choice but to suspend me for the rest of the year but will ensure that my college does not receive notice about my situation. He also wants to have a meeting with me and I'm meeting my lawyer tomorrow morning. Luckily my mom's a lawyer so he's a good friend of her's.

 

Looks to me like 75% of this could of been avoided(See Above).

Now I have this to ask you, Did thay know you had a car before you told them ? Was this car parked on school property ? And one last thing.


Do you move 3 cartons of cigarettes AND 1/4 oz in one day ? If not then WHY THE HELL IS IT IN YOUR CAR?



It just disappoints me that all of this was caused by stupid easily avoidable, mistakes.


PS:

Saying that really shows stupidity. That alone will get you busted.

 

All could of ended if you told them you rode the bus to school.........They don't have the right to search your vehicle if it's not on school property

 

Well I'm sorry to disappoint you, even though I do not know you. And of course it could have been avoided. I don't know if they knew I drove to school. I kept all my shit in my backpack which I kept in my car. I already admitted I was stupid but I REALLY appreciate the reassurance.

 

bad stuff happens man, you just gotta move on. thats what makes humans so innefable...they can cope with even the worst situations.

 

Yeah i hate it when really bad shit like that happens, that could have been avoided by such simple things.

Well good luck man, i hope things go well.

 

take it to court. a public defender in worse case costs you nothing but time and transportation. It its on school prop your fucked, but criminal charges could be tough for police without bringing the kid that snitched on you, the principal and the cops as witnesses. Fight the shit out of it man

 

Was you car parked on school property? If not you can probably get most of the charges dropped unless you gave them permission to search it. Something similar happened to a friend of mine.

 

LOL....

 

sucks dude. your downfall was dealing cigarettes. cigs are the dumbest shit in the world. once you grow up, you'll realize cigs were only cool in high school and anyone still smoking them after high school hate themselves for doing it. hindsight is always 20/20 of course, but you should have just admitted the selling cigs and hoped they ended the investigation there.

 

I thought that as well.. What the fuck has that to do with it? America

 

Wow.

Just not being a fucking retard can save you so much trouble some times.

 

Good advice if you can afford a lawyer. or just go with the public def, whatever.


You're still stupid as fuck for letting any of that happen and making bad decisions at the wrong times.

 

Yep I am stupid as fuck! Thanks man!
...
My lawyer said he can probably get the charges dropped since I'm under 18 and this is my first offense but I will be on ACOD for a year. So hopefully that will work out and I'll just have to keep a clean nose from now until May next year.
