I had a recent job applicant reveal that he was convicted of this felony.  I am curious as to what you would receive to be charged and convicted of this felony.

Someone sent him (rather, he recieved/bought) something through the mail along the lines of stolen property, narcotics, illegal pornography, etc. I don't know what all would be covered under "illegal material" but I shudder to think.

If it was a felony then your done. If it was a misdemenor then you have a small chance, but usually they don't grant citizenship to criminals.

You won't go to jail.  Most likely they will sentence you with a fine and community service.  If you are a minor, your record will be sealed.  If not, it will look bad in a background check, but shoplifting is not a huge crime, so if that is all that is on your record, you can probably still find a good job.\n\nWould've been less costly to just pay for it, huh?

Basic answer: I'm fairly sure it's what is known as a 16-2-3 felony...meaning you can get 16 months, 2 years or 3 years in prison.\n\nDon't freak out.  Post some more information and I can probably narrow that down for you.  Sometimes we charge 11350 and we're wrong.  Here's what I would want to know to give you a better idea:\n\nWhat was the drug?\n\nHow much of it was there?\n\nDoes the arrestee have prior convictions for anything?\n\nIs the arrested person on probation or parole?\n\nAnd above all else, it ain't over until the fat lady sings, and nobody gets punished for anything if they're not guilty.  \n\nPost some more details and I'll keep an eye on this question so I can come back and edit my answer.\n\nDon't tell me anything the police don't already know (in other words, don't tell me your boyfriend got arrested for a quarter gram of cocaine but the cops missed the four kilos at the house).\n\n2/9/06: Well, depending on the county he's on probation in, prison is certainly a possibility.  Failing to appear and having a dirty test are bad enough, but to have more cocaine (and based on the 11350 charge you're asking about, I'm assuming it was coke...meth would be 11377) on him when he was arrested is certainly not good.  He may well have probation revoked and reinstated (basically a "do-over") and might end up with a lengthy stay in jail as a sanction.  I have to tell you, though...depending on the county you guys are in, prison is not out of the question.  Some counties are lenient and others are not.  Prop 36 (not 39) court is a good thing, but you have to behave if you want to stay in it.  \n\nWas he charged with a new possession offense when he was arrested, or are they handling the dope he had on him when he was arrested as just a violation of probation?  I would imagine they'll handle it as a violation of probation, rather than opening a whole new case...and a VOP can sometimes carry a stiffer penalty than a new case.  A lot of this will also depend on what the terms of his probation were when he was put into Prop 36 court.  If he received a suspended sentence (meaning that the judge told him he will send him to prison if he screws up *again*, but will let him do Prop 36 instead), he may very well go to prison on this new violation.  \n\nThere's a lot of variables and once your boyfriend has had a chance to talk with his attorney, he'll have a pretty good idea of where his case is heading.\n\nIf you are really as unfamiliar with drugs as you've said, I've got to suggest that maybe this guy is not for you.  It would appear that he's a little *too* familiar with drugs...and although that wasn't your question, that is my answer.\n\nBest of luck to both of you.

A class 4 felony is low; I doubt a theft (stealing without trespassing, shoplifting, force or coercion)  grand or small would land someone in prison.  Justice is blind, and that is supposed to be a good thing.  Violations (speeding, domestics, disturbance of the peace etc) do not go an ones permanent record.  \n\nHow did your friend violate the Pawnbrokers Act?  My guess is did not get a license to open up shop, so that means he failed to pay $60 for the license and did not provide the $2000 deposit to the town government.  Did he open another shop?  That would be another way to violate the act, by setting up a monopoly on the collateral business.     \n\nIn any case, it sounds like he won't go to jail.  He won't go to prison no matter what (prison, is for sentences beyond 1 or 2 years depending on the state or province)  I see a misdemeanor - contempt of court - and a suspended sentence based on that.

If you are facing an indictment on a felony offense, you really should be talking to an attorney.  If you have a friend under indictment, your friend should check with an attorney.\n\nRULE 7. The Indictment and the Information\n\n(A) Use of indictment or information.  A felony that may be punished by death or life imprisonment shall be prosecuted by indictment.  All other felonies shall be prosecuted by indictment, except that after a defendant has been advised by the court of the nature of the charge against the defendant and of the defendant's right to indictment, the defendant may waive that right in writing and in open court.\n\nWhere an indictment is waived, the offense may be prosecuted by information, unless an indictment is filed within fourteen days after the date of waiver.  If an information or indictment is not filed within fourteen days after the date of waiver, the defendant shall be discharged and the complaint dismissed.  This division shall not prevent subsequent prosecution by information or indictment for the same offense.\n\nA misdemeanor may be prosecuted by indictment or information in the court of common pleas, or by complaint in the juvenile court, as defined in the Rules of Juvenile Procedure, and in courts inferior to the court of common pleas.  An information may be filed without leave of court.\n\n(B) Nature and contents.  The indictment shall be signed in accordance with Crim. R. 6(C) and (F) and contain a statement that the defendant has committed a public offense specified in the indictment.  The information shall be signed by the prosecuting attorney or in the name of the prosecuting attorney by an assistant prosecuting attorney and shall contain a statement that the defendant has committed a public offense specified in the information.  The statement may be made in ordinary and concise language without technical averments or allegations not essential to be proved.  The statement may be in the words of the applicable section of the statute, provided the words of that statute charge an offense, or in words sufficient to give the defendant notice of all the elements of the offense with which the defendant is charged.  It may be alleged in a single count that the means by which the defendant committed the offense are unknown or that the defendant committed it by one or more specified means.  Each count of the indictment or information shall state the numerical designation of the statute that the defendant is alleged to have violated.  Error in the numerical designation or omission of the numerical designation shall not be ground for dismissal of the indictment or information, or for reversal of a conviction, if the error or omission did not prejudicially mislead the defendant.\n\n(C) Surplusage.  The court on motion of the defendant or the prosecuting attorney may strike surplusage from the indictment or information.\n\n(D) Amendment of indictment, information, or complaint.  The court may at any time before, during, or after a trial amend the indictment, information, complaint, or bill of particulars, in respect to any defect, imperfection, or omission in form or substance, or of any variance with the evidence, provided no change is made in the name or identity of the crime charged.  If any amendment is made to the substance of the indictment, information, or complaint, or to cure a variance between the indictment, information, or complaint and the proof, the defendant is entitled to a discharge of the jury on the defendant's motion, if a jury has been impaneled, and to a reasonable continuance, unless it clearly appears from the whole proceedings that the defendant has not been misled or prejudiced by the defect or variance in respect to which the amendment is made, or that the defendant's rights will be fully protected by proceeding with the trial, or by a postponement thereof to a later day with the same or another jury.

I know from reviewing people's criminal records as part of my job...sometimes you get the charge and the conviction, because often what the person was charged with is different than what they were convicted of.  So, it is possible that the charge will show up on your criminal records with "pending" as the disposition or something like that.  It is also possible that because the charge is recent, it hasn't "caught up" with you yet, so you might get lucky.  Your best bet is to notify your employer that the charge might show up just so that you look like you are trying to be honest.

The point here is that he had a prescription with him that was not in his name, which is a second-degree misdemeanor. His plea agreement says he "will refrain from any violation of any law." It doesn't matter what his motivation was, he violated the law. I'm interested to see how this plays out...

If you went to court ,and they said it goes on you file, its a felony. You can get some kind of pardon after so many years.That's if it holds back, and disturbs job opportunity,or you would like to leave the country for holidays.

I used to work at a place where there were very thourough backround checks. As the manager in charge of hiring, i found that there were many very good applicants that were automatically denied for that reason. I understand what you are saying. It must be very difficult for people who are trying to get their lives back on track to find opportunities, since this seems to be so common amoung many corperate and franchise businesses. What is ironic is that I often found that some of  those with no criminal backround, after being hired,  were much more of a risk to our company, where as perfectly good applicants with a smudge on their record, would have probably performed a lot better as employees. Now I'm not saying that I would have hired all ex- felons who had applied, due to the fact that some of them seemed to still have serious issues, but if it were my choice in the matter, character and ability would matter far more than a bad choice that was made before.   I feel that a person should not be denied an employment opportunity due to a past that they have already paid for. It is definetley a type of discrimination.

How is he 'blacklisted' from working at other companies?  Was this 'mistake' actually better defined as 'a crime' and its now on his record when background checks are performed?  Or did he settle for deferred adjudication or something of the sort which also has to be discussed often when pursuing employment?  That's the only way I can see his past 'mistake' interfering with obtaining new employment.\n\nPieces are missing to this puzzle.  Your boyfriend should seek legal advice and you might want to sit this one out and wait for the end result.

Of course it is still on your criminal record so it will follow you for life.  But on applications or anything like that don't leave it off when it asks if you've been convicted of a crime.  If you don't put it on there and a company hires you they can fire you if they find out.  Just be honest and if they ask, explain the situation.

.No, you should have been charged with a felony. If you were just caught with 3/8 that would have a high misdemeanor. You did contribute to minors and that should be a felony.

ok heres my answer.  and i would also request that you actually read the whole thing before moving on to the next.  first of all i think you are an insensitive prick.  you think we should just kill every person that doesnt meet your high standards.  that is inhumane, actually that is insane.  especially for any felony.  did you know that you can recieve a  felony for speeding?  so you should be executed for being in a big ass hurry to get to work.  peeps make mistakes.  sounds like you did too.  x is fun but illeagal and dangerous.  what if you got pulled over before popping and the cops found it?  that is a felony.  bang your dead.  i have a felony and i take offense to your statement.  i realize i made a mistake and i took immediate actions to correct my mistakes from reoccuring in the future.  i got busted with an oz and a half of mexican dirt weed.  class four felony.  i was also into meth and x and acid and shrooms and pretty much all the drugs i could ingest.  i saw my life going down hill and the cops helped me realize it.  so i went to treatment and havent touched the stuff in two years.  I WAS GIVEN A CHANCE TO REHABILLATATE AND LEARNED MY LESSON.  the correctional and judicial systems purpose is to help people in general, wheather they are criminals or honest citizens.  they help a lot of people by giving them another chance but watching them closely.  i understand where you are comming from however.  i have friends in prison who have commited offenses time after time and dont learn.  but do i want them dead? no.  they deserve the same as you and i.  i do believe that certain offenses do deserve death.  killers have no remorse, otherwise they wouldnt have commited the act.

It is a federal felony offense.  You should inform your local postmaster along with the police and let them handle it.

It boils down to this: They have to accept your application by law. Whether they hire you or not is entirely up to them. Some states have weird bartender laws but I see no reason for a felony to hold ya up there. I'm a convicted felon,been to prison twice and have never had a problem gaining employment.Honesty is the best policy.You'll be respected for it! And if they don't hire you don't give up,ya didn't wanna work there anyhow. :)

Sounds like your friend may go back to prison.  If he has not paid his probation fees, then more than likely he was not reporting.  If that is the case, then his probation will probably be revoked.  By the way, it does not appear as if this person is interested in getting his life together, so in my opinion, he probably does need to go back to prison.
