Legal Question in Criminal Law in Arkansas
Possession Charge
My son was recently charged with 3 counts of possession of drugs and drug paraphenalia, but he was not in the place where the drugs were found when it was searched ( a communal home ) and was arrested 3 blocks away, taken to jail and released 5 hours later on OR. Just what exactly does the term possession mean?

Re: Possession Charge
It is "constructive possession" ... the facts indicate that he had access and control ... kind of like a cookie is missing, the lid is off the cookie jar, child is the only one who could have gone into the kitchen, the child must therefore be the culprit ...
Bottom line, he need an Attorney!
