So the exact same thing happend to us and when I was reading your story I had to ask my husband if was telling anyone else what had happend. We actually we bored on day and decided to drive to Yuma, what a mistake. As soon as we crossed over the state line we were followed by the Border Patrol helicopter and it's spot light.Keep in mind that we are two of the whitest people you'll ever meet both being Irish. When we pulled over to find a decent hotel, a Border Partol officer pulled up behind us and actually started when he saw who was in the car, asked us if we had been to Mexico and sent us on our way. Then the next day we decided to head North to Bullhead City where I have family, and that's when we got stopped at the checkpoint with less than a gram of Medical Marijuana on us. My husband took responsibilty for it and got a ticket and were told we'd have to appear for court in 1 month. So in a months time we appeared in court and the judge laid down fines and my husbands options very similar to yours. Apparently even if you don't come back to court the Public Defender's office will still send you a bill.— January 24, 2010 1:32 p.m.
