Legal advice needed...

[ShagginJet]

I got in some trouble and need some advice. If you know or know anyone who knows legal stuff please help out.

I was picked on the 14th of Dec for DUI and Possession with intent to sell. I spent 2-1/2 days in LA County Jail, to be released on the morning of the 17th. I was never charged for anything or saw a judge. It was explained to me by other inmates that they had 72 hours to charge or release me. I was also told that once released that they couldn't press charges since I already served time.

Skip to today, in the mail I recieved a letter from the Cali Highway Patrol. It states that I'm due in court on the 23rd of March for the charges that I was originally taken in for.


The confusion comes with what I was told in jail. I ran this by several friends who have served time and they pretty much confirmed what I was told. Obviously none of us are lawyers so we really don't know.

Would anyone like to share some insight if they could. I don't want to spend 2k on a lawyer just to have them get me off cause I already served.


THANKS.... Shagg.
