Legal Question in Criminal Law in California

I WENT INTO CVS PHARMACY TO PURCHASE A $ 300.00 RELOAD CARD FOR A PREPAID CREDIT CARD, TO PAY SOME BILLS. THE CLERK AND MANAGER SAID THAT $100.00 OF THE MONEY WAS COUNTERFEIT AND CALLED THE POLICE. THE POLICE CAME OUT AND ARRESTED ME FOR

460(b) PC and US Title 18. I TOLD THEM THAT I AM A + CERTIFIED IT TECH AND FIX COMPUTERS. I HAD FIXED A MANS COMPUTER THE WEEK BEFORE I MEET AT A MOTEL, I WAS STAYING AT AND I FIXED AND UPGRADED HIS COMPUTER AND THAT HAD TO BE WHERE I GOT THE MONEY FROM. I ALREADY HAVE A COMMERICIAL BURGLARY ON MY RECORD FROM 5 YEARS AGO. WHAT DO I DO NOW??

You FIGHT !! You only have 2 choices. Take a felony conviction and whatever custody time in jail or prison, that the DA wants, or FIGHT. If you want to fight, get the most experienced attorney you can afford. If you want to go over all the facts so I can give you a much more in depth answer , I offer you a FREE telephone consultation.

You get a lawyer to help you. Trying to spend counterfeit money is only a crime if the person knew it was counterfeit. The authorities evidently believe that you knew what you were doing.

The charges against you are quite serious. You need to get a good lawyer right away.

Good luck.
