Okay so I know I have made a big mistake here.

I went out with my friends the other night and we were all drinking and getting high a bit. We had a really good night and we were on our way home about 4am. We were messing about a lot and I guess we were being really loud and stuff. We got stopped by the police and me and one of my friends tried to run. The cops stopped us and I don't know why I did, but in my panic I headbutted the copper in the face. To make matters worse they found about a quarter of weed on me. I don't think I hurt him too much but now I am in trouble for possession and assault with intent to resist arrest.

I'm not the kind of person who usually does this stuff, although I have been arrested when I was 17 for possession of weed, but I got a warning. I'm 20 now, almost 21 and I haven't done anything since.

I just don't know what to do. I'm so worried I will go to prison.

Do you think I could get another warning or will I get done this time?

Please help

Yes you are quite right, jeffa. But Lottie has obviously posted on AB to set her mind at rest before seeing her brief. And in any case, Buenchico's answer is spot on, given the info that Lottie has provided and her brief will only advise her of the same facts as he or she will be referring to the same sentencing guidelines. I would add that I would not be at all...

Of course it matters !! This is but a blip...you CAN make things better for yourself ..you MUST make long term plans , and formulate the steps to take to get there ..you Must not give up on yourself !!

'What will be a help in court?'
What will be a help is for you to accept that you DO have a problem with drugs and alcohol and tell the court that you realise that you have a problem and are determined to get help to overcome it.
In 3 years you have been in trouble for drug / drink related offences 3 times! You have a problem but until you are willing to accept that fact rather than just denying it you are not going to help yourself.
Even at this stage if you show that you are trying hard to overcome your problems and get help there is hope that the court will look at the good side and decide to give you another chance to get your life sorted out.
But this really is the last warning you are going to get.
Even if you think that you don't have a problem, i think that you should stop with the drinking and drugs because it will look much better for you.

I'm sure they will be able to help you while in prison so that when you get out your life is back on track
Ah just noticed they've all been suspended, so I must have been right in my 09.53 post. Feel smug:-))
