UPCS W/I S/M/D: Marijuana as a Class E begins at a 1 year jail sentence or probation period. Unless the co-defendant pleads guilty to the offense, as owner of the vehicle you are considered joint and separately liable for the drugs found. In order to get your car back, you will have to follow the instructions in the civil forfeiture notice. Understand, that by getting your car back, you are admitting to being in control of the car where the drugs were found.
