My boyfriend and I got pulled over (I was the driver) because my car had an expired registration. The officer who pulled me over noticed that the passenger side smelled of marijuana. Long story short, my car was impounded, then searched. They found less than 20g of marijuana and a pipe. They charged both my boyfriend and I for possession of a controlled dangerous substance and possession of drug paraphernalia. This is would be my boyfriend's second offense. If I take the full blame, this would be my first and only offense. Prior to this, my record was completely clean. Because of this, I was advised by my boyfriend, and somewhat, my lawyer to take the blame since I would be able to get a conditional discharge and expungement with probation. I just got accepted into an LPN program and I envisioned this to be a much happier time, but now all I feel is disappointment and anxiety because my place in the program may get taken away when I go through the background check. I have to fill in my paperwork and background check information on June 10th, but my court date (postponed twice because lab results were not in from the evidence) is not until the 18th. I will have a clean drug test, no doubt. I gyro guess what I would like to know is, should I tell the program director now, before I go through the background checks? This is just really, really bad luck for me. I wish the situation was completely different.
