well if he is supposed to go to court and doesn't show then he will have a felony drug charge warrant as well as a felony fleeing warrant and there is no escaping that. they will be in the system until he is caught.

Depending on what the first one was meaning the charge.  It could be dropped to a wreckless Operation charge if the first one wasnt.  Other than that, you will probably spend some time, pay a fine and enter into some type of drug and alcohol counseling.  GET A GOOD ATTORNEY!

He faces both Kansas felony charges and Federal charges.  Chances are he will be indicted on a charge of transportation of marijuana accross state lines, because the federal charges carry a much stiffer sentence, and the federal system doesn't use parole.  However, its a felony at either level.

he can and most likely will be deported.  he's not a citizen and he committed a felony.

What happened to you was an arrest.  An arrest is like Herpes, not everyone knows it's there, but sooner or later someone is bound to find out.  Your arrest record from PA will stay with you whether Misdemeanor or Felony.  There is no way for anyone to know if this was a felony or misdemeanor arrest.  Most theft classifications are dependent on the dollar amount of the merchandise taken.  Just beceause you were released doesn't mean it wasn't a felony. Most jails wont waste the money to house you if you aren't a serious risk for flight, or a danger to society. Keep something else in mind, a lot of states have laws that say if you are "convicted" of a theft, meaning you have been sentanced for a theft and you commit another one, it is an automatic felony.

Unless you get a lawyer to contest the forfeiture it will happen.  They don't have to goto court under the law.  All they must show is that the money was tied into illegal operations.  This is a lower standard then finding you gulity of a crime.  If the money was tied into a drug business in any way, at any time then legally they can take it.

Unfortunately, he's probably not going to let him go at this time.  He's had a violation for one thing and even if he did decide on a whim to let him go, there is lots of paperwork involved in letting him go out of the country or state.  It costs money as well.  \n\nThe reason i know this is because i have been on probation before.  In order to be released on a travel permit you must be up to date on all your fines as well as have clean ua's and no violations.  Probation is just that.... a chance to prove that you can start over and not commit anymore crimes.  \n\nHe has to realize that means no speeding, no nothing... this is his one chance to prove himself.  \n\nJust because someone is on probation does not mean they are a bad person... they made a mistake.  \n\nMaybe this year you two can have a dinner together.  Just tell him to make sure he keeps on the straight and narrow path.  This is his chance at a life...

In Canada the law is that you cannot travel if you have "committed an offense for which a pardon has not been granted" (I got my passport a while ago)

That's a huge fish story.....true or not. My first question comes from the first arrest as why you didn't go down to the local police station and have your vehicle checked by a drug dog to avoid the second incident. I then wonder why, after the first arrest, you didn't head to your local doctor and get a blood test proving you were not using. This doesn't appear to have been done for the second arrest either. So, what you are left with is a mountain of evidence against you. Considering these are both felonies, any deferment, agreement, plea deal you make will instantly make you a convicted felon, a label that lasts a lifetime. Tread carefully grasshopper, you are in very dangerous waters.

HI MJ- Unfortunately, the law states that he can be charged, regardless of his state at the time. The only defense would be temporary insanity, but that has not worked in the past for people who were unaware of their actions due to too much alcohol or illegal drugs, so it would not likely be usable in this case either.  What may happen is that he could plead to a lesser charge due to impaired judgment brought on by a combination of a small amount of alcohol in conjunction with a legal benzodiazepene (I assume here that he had this as a prescription, and was not taking it illegally)- However, even that is iffy, because all people given BZDs are strongly warned about taking it with alcohol, and on the bottle itself there are strong warnings.  If he were using the drug illegally, then that pretty much shoots down all defenses.  But, in the end, just because he did not remember, or even know what he was doing, does not mean he will not be held legally accountable-he definitely will...how strongly will depend on his past record, the reason he was using the BZD, and the severity of the crime.  Get a good lawyer and try to plead a lesser charge based on reduced judgment due to ignorance of the drug interaction effect.  I just hope the BZD was a prescription for him.  Good luck, MJ

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.

You still are penalized for possession in Canada, Marijuana is not legal.   However misdemeanor possession which is around a gram usually only carries a fine.

You are breaking the law.  You must leave the country and apply from OUTSIDE Canada.

Your friend still has rights, but generally one of the terms that your friend may have agreed to as part of the agreement for probabtion is that the police can search without cause any time they want as often as they want. Your friend would be subject to the same type of "harrassment," as you put it, if he/she were in jail or prison. The purpose being that, while you friend is not in jail or prison, you friend needs to obey the law at all times to avoid being sent to jail or prison.

If they know who committed the crime they can contact the FBI of the USA and they can turn them over to the Canadian Officials. They have to. Just like if I was from Canada and came to USA to commit a crime, Canadian Officials would have to turn me over to the USA Officials!

Finally, someone who puts the state in their question.\n\nLook...bottom line: your friend needs an attorney, not a bunch of well-meaning people on Yahoo.  Nobody here that has any idea what they're talking about it is going to offer any decent advice because there are just too many variables that could be in place.  Also, there would be more questions than answers, and your friend would be a fool to answer any questions here on Yahoo, if he's being charged with a crime.  \n\nWhat is felony fraud?  I suspect the links above will tell you, but generally it's fraud over a certain dollar amount.  Fraud, it sounds like you've figured out, is misrepresenting yourself to obtain goods/services/etc.\n\nFinally, I wonder about the, "friend is being told by police that he is to be arrested..." comment.  Rarely does anyone I work with communicate the intent to arrest someone...it's bad business, as it allows the suspect to begin thinking up stories to cover his tracks, talking to attorneys, flee the jurisdiction, etc., etc.  Perhaps there's some kind of misunderstanding as to the business of being arrested.

Looks like trouble, my high school coach went on a fishing trip to Canada with a group on a bus and one of the guys had a record and they got stuck at the border until they got it straightened out. I believe you are persona non-gratis (stay out)...Sorry, better here than the border, but check with the Canadian Consulate, maybe you can get a wavier if your crime wasn't that bad. Good luck, you can fly or boat to Alaska too, avoiding Canada.
