What to do if my boyfriend was arrested for failure to appear on possession of marijuana but when arrested they also charged him with speeding and possession?
It was under an ounce of marijuana. What is expected in court for him? He he looking at jail time? When he goes to see a judge will he get a bond or will he just ‘ve released? Should he get a lawyer?

Based upon what you have written about your boyfriend should consult with a criminal defense attorney in his locality about the pending charges against him. One can be found on attorneypages.com. The possession charge could result in jail time if he is found guilty. At the first appearance where he is arraigned, he will be released to appear at a later hearing which is all the more reason for him to consult with an attorney to help him.
