A couple weeks ago I was caught by police with a bag containing about 10 grams of Acetyl Fentanyl I purchased on a market. They seized the bag and sent it to a laboratory for identification. I was let go, but they said they would be following up. Being that AF is such a rare chemical, will the lab even be able to identity it? It doesn't show up under any drug tests. I live in the US unfortunately, but AF itself is not a scheduled substance, but there is the analog act. I wasn't officially arrested or charged, but there is a charge pending depending on what the substance comes back as.
I read on the DEAs website that even small amounts of Fentanyl Hcl can get you 5-20 years. I don't know whether to pack up and fly to Russia or something or get a lawyer who can possible get me off the hook. I have never had any type of arrest or record before.
Any advice?
Find a few criminal defense attorneys and meet for an initial consult, it should be free. Find one you like and if shit hits the fan clearly invoke your right to an attorney and keep your mouth shut until he gets there.
Also keep your mouth shut in the meantime, including friends and family.
