Update Your Profile
you called the police so the police have the right to be in your apartment. the police can seize the drugs and arrest the person in 'possession' because they have the right to be in the apartment and they have observed a criminal event-possession of cocaine. the police can charge you with this crime. the owner of the drugs can be a witness for you if you are charged. he can testify that the cocaine was in his possession. the jury can decide if he is telling the truth. please let us know if we can help you. ed dimon, esq.
