Re: possession of cocaine
As charged there is a 3 year mandatory, but depending on many other factors too many to list, he could reduce that in a deal, especially if this is is first offense.
Re: possession of cocaine
Yes, there is a mandatory prison term associated with that charge if your son is convicted. An F-1 sentence carries a mandatory sentence of 3-10 years in the Ohio Prison system. The mandatory sentences for Drug charges are very complicated but they are located in Chapter 29 of the Ohio revised Code.
