Our client was charged with third offense possession of marijuana (less than one ounce) in Rhode Island within eighteen (18) months of their first offense. This is a misdemeanor criminal offense which has a penalty of possible incarceration for up to thirty (30) days and a fine from $200 to $500. It can also lead to having a criminal record.
After negotiating with the prosecutor in the case, we were able to convince the prosecutor to dismiss the charge. As a result, our client did not have a criminal record or face the punishments under the law. We were able to file a Motion to Seal the charge, which was allowed. Therefore, our client’s record was sealed after the dismissal.
