i live in WV. i received a ticket for possession of fentanyl. i was told to contact the courts within 30 days of receiving the ticket to plead and set up payment plans to pay any fines. I contacted the court on the 30th day and they have no record of the ticket. what does this mean? how long do the police have to submit the ticket to the courts?
It seems unusual that the court has no record of your ticket. Generally, officers have a specific timeframe to submit tickets to the court, often within a few weeks. You might want to:
- Contact the issuing police department to inquire about the status.
- Keep documentation of your attempts to resolve the issue.
- Check back with the court periodically.
