Since my girlfriend was driving she got the DUI and i got charged with possesion of less than 100 grams and for the pipe and papers. The car that we were driving is mine.

What should I expect as far as punishment for the possesion of less than 100 grams (mind you there was probably less than 1 gram in the car) and for the pipe and papers? Note: this all happened in Ohio. Also, how will this affect my work? I am an accoutant at a highly reputable firm. will they find out?

I am 23yrs old and have a crisp clean record.

Thanks to all that reply.
You will continue to have a crisp record. It's your girl who's record is smudged. The judge will ask you whether you work and where. That's when you seriously humble yourself and let the judge know that it was a tremendous mistake and that you don't want this in any way to affect your career. You will definitely be fined and probably lectured(chastised)!I'm from Ohio and Judges can be so whimsical at times, but at least you have favorable circumstances(spotless record and a sound career). It's your girl who will catch the brunt though. Just whatever you do don't come off snobby in front of that judge and answer, "Yes, your honor. No, your honor". Courtroom etiquette is a must when dealing with a judge, lol.

Good Luck!
