One of the teens was charged with possession of a stolen car, possession with intent to distribute marijuana, leaving the scene of personal injury, as well as seven counts of possession of stolen property worth less than $250. The second teen was charged with possession of a stolen vehicle, possession with intent to distribute marijuana, seven counts of possession of stolen property worth less than $250, and possession of tools commonly used by burglars. The second suspect was also charged with possession of a dangerous weapon. Police allege that he was in possession of a stun gun. Both of these two teens were ordered held without bail Tuesday October 9th because they have outstanding cases.
A third teen suspect was not arraigned because he was in the hospital. Police report he was found injured in the crashed car when the other two suspects were found in the woods near the crash. He is charged with possession of a stolen car, possession with intent to distribute marijuana, possession of tools commonly used by burglars, eight counts of possession of stolen property worth less than $250 and had a default warrant, police said.
Each of the suspects in this case is facing jail time if he is convicted of some, or all, of his charges. They are all facing the serious charges of possession of a stole vehicle, as well as possession with intent to distribute marijuana. Though suspects facing these charges may be able to negotiate down to lesser charges that do not include jail time, the two teens found in the woods have outstanding cases and are now being held without bail. Because they have outstanding charges, they have less room to bargain for a light sentence. The third suspect is also facing these serious charges and has a default warrant. A default warrant means that he failed to appear in court previously. This default likely means he has faced criminal charges in the past. It also means that he has less room to bargain for reduced charges or a light sentence if he has had previous criminal convictions and has failed to appear in court in the past.
