On Nov 5th I tried to commit suicide on prescription drugs. The police found me in time. On Dec 17th they charged me with possesstion of a controlled substance Schedule 4 when they collected pills from my house. I had prescriptions for all of them except for Klonopin which I recieved from a friend for one reason only. It had nothing to do addiction just the suicide attempt. I am bi-polar and have been in and out psychiatric hospitals for 21 years and have had multiple suicide attempts. This is the first to result in charges. My psychiatrist asked me who I made mad at the police department because in the 20+ years of her practicing she has never had this happen to a patient. There was no consent to search my home and I went down to the police department willingly when they called me. The had me read my own rights out loud (they did not read them to me) and then told me they weren't arresting me they just wanted to understand what happened that day. I had no Idea that they were interrogating me. The detective didn't make it seem that way.
I am currently on Court Supervision twice over for resisting arrest and Domestic battery when I was defending myself against my boyfriend but because I left marks on him I got arrested. (he's 240 and I'm all of 90 pounds). He said he would testify in my defense (he tried to get the charges dropped) as well as my psychiatrist due to the fact she knows I didn't have the Klonopin due to an addiction. I reside in Tazewell County. Please help me. I hold a professional license in the state. I'm taking my meds, seeing my psychiatrist on a regular basis as well as my family doctor. I am also attending group therapy at the Center for prevention of abuse and go to AA. Is there anyway to get the meds suppressed? How about changing venues to a mental health court since this is what it really falls under? Tazewell Co. doesn't have one. Thanks
