They searched and they found pot I said was mine and then they found meth and that wasn't mine. It had to be the passenger who was in the car * minutes before they let her go and took me to jail.

I'm in Illinois and they are trying to get me to agree to 24 months of probation *,*. Fines and being labelled as a meth head. I can't. I asked for a speedy trial. And something odd happened my public defence said that a sheriff from another county called and spoke with him and he is acting differently towards me. I don't have trust in him and they sealed the case
