Hello all,

If anyone reading this has had an experience similar to the following, or knows someone who has, I'd really appreciate any information.

Quick summary: written a ticket for paraphernalia (a measly grinder, hardly a speck in it, no intent to distribute), 19 year old, live in Las Vegas, first time offender. This was a little more than a month ago.

Today was supposed to be my court date (so claimed the date at the bottom of my ticket), but once I got there, I was told I wouldn't be making any court appearance that day. In fact, they didn't even have my ticket on file in their database. Long story short, the way they tell it to me, the district attorney's offices now have my citation, and supposedly, they will eventually decide whether to charge me and all that, or whether to drop the whole thing. I'll have to continue playing the waiting game now, they'll send me a letter in the mail once they make up their minds. I'm pretty pissed off, as you can imagine, because I was hoping everything could finally come to an end today.

I have a number of questions on the matter. First, how long do you guys think I'll have to wait before the D.A. lets me know anything? I'm not concerned about this just because I'm impatient or anything, but because I am planning to leave the country in mid-June - and return here in the States in late August (so it's not as if I'm absconding, I just have shit to do overseas for the summer). I wouldn't want to be in Italy smack in the middle of July, and that's when I get a call, "Hey asshole, we're going ahead with your case, show up in court next week."

Secondly, any hope of the D.A. deciding NOT to pursue the case? Especially since a) the offense is so tiny, b) I am a first time offender, and c) Nevada is somewhat liberal about these things, or so I am told?

Once again, anyone with any insight, I beg you to share. Thank you.
