Drug Crimes, Substance Abuse reaaal scared...

[amazinggrace]

It was around July 20th that my parents called telling me the police were looking for me. They said nothing except that "if i came to the police department everything could get taken care of." right. I show up to the police department asap and 4 guys from a a different county interrogate me for an hour, telling me how they caught me selling marijuana two different times for around a pound each time. ive never sold drugs before in my life aside from those two times, it was just because it was quick money. i got the product and drove it to the person who initially asked for it, no holding onto it or anything. my girlfriend was with me too. she did NOTHING but be with me, and they brought her in and told her shed face the same charges as me, 4 felonies..2 counts transportation and 2 counts something else. i havent been charged with anything yet or gone to court..they had us sign papers to become a C.I, so the next day I set something up with the people who got me and the person i picked the stuff up from, they had microphones and sound recorders on me and everything...but i did it. my girlfriend however tried setting things up with someone she knew 4 separate times, and the detective we've been working with has canceled on her every single time. It's now September 2 and I haven't heard from him in a few weeks, and my girlfriend still talks to him every so often, as recently as Monday. she told him that hes canceled 4 times now and its "sketchy" setting someone up then saying never mind all the time.
anyways, I don't know if we should be expecting jail time, probation, or what? but I cant afford an attorney or anything and me and my girlfriend have just been sick to our stomachs. we've pretty much done everything we can do it seems like, and were both first time offenders with nothing else on our records. what should we expect? any advice? and if you have any questions about anything ask me because I know I probably didn't address everything all that clearly. Any help is VERY much appreciated.

Can't whoever is "handling" you and your girlfriend answer these questions? I mean, you became C.I.s to reduce or get rid of your punishment. . .

I became a C.I to pretty much not go to jail that night...and they told me I would unless I "helped" them, albeit nothing was guaranteed. I'm not sure if I actually would have gone to jail or if it was one of many scare tactics, but I did it anyway.
Could they answer these questions for me? Maybe...but why would they want me to find out how much trouble I'm really in? Wouldn't they want me to stay scared and constantly paranoid and thinking I need to do everything I can for the police to stay out of trouble?

What is the location of all of this?

Since you've already made a buy, you are in a tight spot in that you don't want the person who sold you the drugs to know you're the reason they're arrested.

Are you sure there isn't some kind of legal aid you can qualify for?

As far as the police goes, I think you're right they want you to be scared, to do as many buys as usual, and they'll be vague. Also know that the police may lie, and they aren't the ones who usually make deals, it is someone from the prosecutors office.

Have they asked you to do more buys? You need to ask them what you're getting in return.

How old are you? If you're under 18, what happened to you is highly unethical. . .

Yeah I've made it clear to the detective I set this up with that there is absolutely no way my guy can find out I set him up. It's a very tight and also dangerous spot to be in, since I could be in a LOT of trouble if people found out I was a "snitch"/"narc".
I'm 20 years old, I even feel shaky saying this much but I live in Milwaukee, WI...the people who got me were from Waukesha County, I don't know if that helps any.
they have asked me since the first time I set stuff up to try and come into contact with him again and set more deals up, and I'd try but at first my guy wasn't able to. Then it seemed like the weight shifted to my girlfriend trying to set stuff up, but like I said the detective would keep canceling or not actually go through with it. I figure if he won't even come through with my girlfriend to set something up with an eighth of weed, why would I even try to set something up for a full pound?
And I suppose I'm a little scared to ask what I'm getting in return. Not quite sure why, but I'm just scared. I haven't talked to this guy in weeks and things felt normal again but I know it's temporary, that's why I'm trying to find help.
