More details to this question:
My son was just arrested yesterday and he has court tomorrow on the charges. He originally violated his probation by smoking marijuana and there was a warrant filed. He was caught with a stolen gun and is now facing felony theft charges. He is 18 years old and unfortunately has made several bad decisions because he is addicted to pills, pot, and whatever else he can get. It breaks my heart and my son is my whole world. He doesn't belong in jail or even worse prison.

Your best move is to retain an attorney to defend him. His attorney would challenge the evidence and the charges against him while at the same time working with the prosecutor to reach a favorable plea bargain.
