As the other poster said, if they charge him, he can only be charged as an adult.
As far as how long he will be in jail, that is up to the judge and what charges are against him. Also a lot will depend on how much drugs he had on him... if the amount is considered personal consumption or enough to warrant distribution.

This question raises alot more questions but since the question is vague so shall be the answer; If he's 19, in most states he's already an adult, so yes, he will be charged as an adult. As for how much time, a number of things have to be considered. The amount of drugs found on him will play a big part of how long he'll be incarcerated. Also a factor is were the drugs packaged in seperate baggies?. Did he have a gun?. All of these are contributing factors as to how long he'll be locked up. If he has a high bond that in itself will tell alot. I would find another boyfriend or a really GOOD attorney.
GOD BLESS/GOOD LUCK!!

They will charge him as an adult and his length of incarceration depends on whether he was charged with possessing or possessing with the intent to sell

Adult. He's over 18, right? The next time you see him free you will be retired. Get a new boyfriend !

If it's his first offence, and the judge is in a good mood, he might just get probation or something. Good luck. Hopefully this experience will make him grow up a little.
