Arrested again for possession of a controlled substance while on probation

A friend was recently arrested for possession of a controlled substance(s)- 3 1/2 grams meth, the glass pipe used to smoke this sh*t, a small amount of marijuana, and concealed weapons - 2 throwing knives in his back pocket and a blow gun. The cops let him keep his: stun gun; air rifle; handcuffs; thumb cuffs, sabre swords; mace, etc. According to the report, he was NOT under the influence that night, and that he was NOT selling drugs. They booked him and let him go a short time later, saying they would contact him. What's going to happen next???? This is his second arrest for controlled substances; the first was approximately 13 yrs. ago. Is it possible that he will NOT have to go to jail (please, please. . .)????

I posted the above question approximately 1-� years ago. The outcome of that case was diversion and 3 years probation � no jail time. Well, just last week he was stopped for no car registration and subsequently arrested again for drug possession (no concealed weapons this time at least).

So, what do you think will ultimately happen to him?
