My son was arrested for distributing and other undisclosed misdemeanor charges in his home tonight. First, the arrest warrant has the next door neighbor's address, not his. His girlfriend got him out of the shower because somebody was beating on the door and prying it open. He came into the living room with just a towel wrapped around him. They broke into his home without identifying themselves. He asked if he could go get some pants on and they kicked him in the back onto the ground. They searched the house and found a small amount of personal marijuana and paraphernalia for which they charged him with and the two minors (my son is 19 and both minors are 17). He was not read his rights at the time of the arrest, but much later when they scared him into making a confession, because they told him that his girlfriend and a friend of his brother's would be charged unless he confessed to everything including the distribution charges for which there was no evidence. They impounded the old truck that we gave him for his birthday/graduation. He has never been in trouble. He just graduated last year, works hard, has purchased a small used manufactured home for $2,000 and almost had the personal loan for it paid off. His lifestyle shows nowhere in it room for anything but hard work...6 and sometimes 7 days a week so that he can pay his bills. Granted, he shouldn't have had anything in possession, but to have his hard work and life thrown away in a snuff...what can we do to help him?
