How much is the bond and jail time if you got arrested because of drugs?

Bonds are set on a case by case procedure. They depend on the prior record of the person, the type of crime, the person's local ties to the community etc.

Your question requires an attorney consultation. It is not a simple question that can be answered on this type of forum. There are many factors that would need to be considered and evaluated. A lot will depend on whether he is charged with a felony or misdemeanor, and exactly what he is charged with. Simple Possession. Possession with Intent. Etc. I strongly suggest that you or your friend contact an experienced criminal defense attorney for a face-to-face consultation and give him/her all of the facts surrounding your friend's case. (S)he would then be in a better position to analyze his case and advise him of his options.

That will depend on a number of factors. Setting a bond amount depends on the severity of the current charge (a serious felony probably from what you described), whether the defendant has any prior record, if the defendant has ever failed to appear for court before, if he has a job or family in the area. Bond is designed to assure that the defendant will appear in court when he is required to. Bond will probably be set in the high thousands of dollars.

The bond is different for each defendant and varies by court. Call the court clerk and ask how much the bond is. The maximum penalty in Missouri for misdemeanor possession of marijuana is 1 year in jail and $1,000 fine.
