It’s a second question to the above. If my son has been charged with possession of drugs, having things u use to do drugs, he’s charged with habitual offender in Tippecanoe county and he’s on parol for it at the time he’s arrested for possession of drugs, springer and resisting arrest in White county. Would these be considered related? Almost exactly same charges. He’s never hurt anyone one or had any weapons. All his charges are possession.
If the two sets of charges are from different incidents, they would typically be considered unrelated. However, a local attorney would be best suited to give advice specific to your son's case.
