That was just an excuse. Some one wanted what you had, most maitaince would of just taken what you had and then what would you do ? If you can pay a lawyer he might be able to get you off. Do not admit to anything. Tell your lawyer you had a guy come by to keep an eye on things. It must be his but you don't know his name. Sounds like illeagle entry even in an apartment you are supposed to be there when they enter. For all we know the landlord didn't like you and planted the stuff to get rid of you. Any kind of warrant was not done leagle and no probably cause like ( I smell some MJ from a cop ). Remember only talk to your lawyer and DO NOT talk to cops. If a cop lies to you it is OK under the law but if you lies to a cop in most states that's another felony.

Good luck and let us know, others maybe helped with the knowledge.

Thinking about it they would of waited untill you came back and did what they call. ( A knock and talk and said they smelled something for probable cause ) Then busted you the right way. That's what they did to me with a warrant in their back pocket just in case. Something smells real fishy about this.

Everytime I have an encounter with the law I learn so much more about how things must work and how little rights our freedom affords us.
