POSSESSION OF MARIJUANA - FAIRFAX J&DR DISTRICT COURT

Facts:

Marijuana was found in my Client's book bag as he was attempting to enter his school.

Disposition:

Client performed 25 hours of community service prior to court and the Commonwealth's Attorney agreed to nolle pros (dismiss) the charge against him.
