im a 16/m. When I was 14, I was caught and arrested with prescription pills at SCHOOL. I was charged with possession of a schedule 2 drug, with intent to sell. I was in juvi for one day and on house arrest for 3 months. The toxicology came back ok, and the pills werent what the law thought they were. The judge demolished my case. And it went as though I didn't do anything. I was looking at 5 years in prison. But I got off scot free. No probation. No drug testing . nothing. If I got into more legal trouble. Could they bring my case back up since the judge already demolished it?

Probably not, but talk to the District Attorney's office.

Im not a criminal attorney, but I believe that if this case was dismissed for the reasons you state, it could not be used against you later. All they would have is a record of the arrest and the dismissal. If you're worried, contact the Public Defender's office of your county or the atty who handled your case (if you had a difft one).
But we know you are not going to get into more legal trouble, so it won't even come up, okay? Good luck.

if you plan to get into more legal trobble dont do it with drugs. you will be looked at as a repeat offender if it comes back up. second times a ***** you will be in some ****, and theres no way in hell you were looking at five years the judge probably wanted to scare you. in ohio noctorious for its harsh punnishment listergic acid with intent to sell. is a manditory five years and its the most harshly punnished illegal substance offense. an adult with heroin would only be looking at 3-6 months. and furthermore in almost every case except murder a juvinial is relesed at 18. if you were 14 it would have put you in the juvi til you were 19? anyhow the best thing to do is to be shure its annulled !!!stay clean!!! cuz your getting closer to being an adult and it is no picnic getting yanked out of a car by 2 cops with guns drawn, laying face down in the mud, especially when theres k9s all pissed off and they already have your buddy with driving under the influence 3 counts of parafanelia a misdemenor possession charge and an f1 for a gram of white dragon and equiptment for other illegal activitys. trust me

No that case has already been decided. Charging you again would be "double jeopardy" which is against the constitution. Theyre not really allowed to bring that up in the minutes of a future court case.

Wow, this REALLY depends.
Some states are known to have weird(potentially unconstitutional) sentencing laws which define repeat drug offenders for the purpose of sentencing as having been ARRESTED on a drug charge.
I would have to do serious research on YOUR state's law to know for sure.

It sounds like you mean the charges were dismissed. So no....as there really WAS no case. Now stay out of trouble.

If it is a drug case they could bring it up but you were never convicted so it would basically be thrown aside.

well i believe that they can not bring it up because the pills were not what they thought they were if you ask me, my opinion i believe they should not you put in jail and on house arrest for no reason but what do you think?

The arrest will remain on your juvenile record, but it will also indicate that the case was dismissed.

Since it was thrown out, I don't think so. Just don't get into legal trouble again. Best ask a lawyer though.
