My fiance is in jail for drug charges: Advice?

I am not looking to be told I need to leave him or that he’s not a good man. Please, I’m just looking for a little bit of comfort. My fiance is in jail rn for a VOP for a possession charge of fewer than 20 grams of cocaine. He was arrested in Delaware and extradited back to Florida just today. He has a long track record of being in trouble, but I guess what I’m trying to find out has anybody had any experience a husband a friend a relative or something being in jail, and how long should I expect him to be in there?

He’ll likely be there a few years if he’s got a track record of it.

I’m just saying, don’t expect the behavior to change. It will most likely always be this way. In and out of jail. Cocaine is cocaine regardless of the amount. I think u need a little reality check.

He will likely get years, and chances are great that it won’t be the last time. You should want more for yourself and your children.

Well it’s hard to say not knowing the full extend of his record but if hes been in legal trouble consistently I’d be guessing at least a few years for that amount and the fact they actually did extradite him.

If you want to be stuck waiting around for someone like that that’s on you. I would honestly be mortified to be associated to that. But to each their own. You deserve better. If he’s been in and out of trouble why would you want to put yourself through waiting for him to get out of jail multiple times. You could find a nice person who can actually do things for you and with you and create memories with. If this isn’t his first time in jail/prison I doubt they’ll go easy on him.

Because he had a history, so likely not his first offense he may be looking at a while. Although it wasnt a large amount its a serious drug…

5+ Years assuming y’all are from Delaware and he is serving time in florida. They won’t let him out of state. He’ll stay in jail until his trial date before serving his time.
If you live in florida he can released on bond before serving his time. 28 grams is considered trafficking and holds a minimum 3 year sentence. Since he has a record expect 3+ years

Depends on previous offenses and if he scored out for prison. I’d say year and a day at the least.

Almost positive cocaine is a federal offense. And with a violation of parole my guess is he will be there awhile, but every state n every judge are different.

With priors, an extradition warrant… You may not be the one saying goodbye, but it will probably happen. That is some serious time.

Also GET OUT. If you don’t then eventually his shit will get your kids taken away.

Couple years or more unless he’s a snitch then he’ll be out soon

Considering he has a track record and has been expedited, he will probably go before the same judge that told him, “If I see you in my court room again, you’re gone”! He’s probably not getting out anytime soon. You have to decide if you want to continue that loneliness of him being in and out of jail or being there for a long time or if you feel you deserve a fresh start :woman_shrugging: That’s a choice you may need to think long and hard over!

Well, since you’re okay with your boyfriend distributing cocaine, I am getting you yourself, are a drug addict as well. There is no way to justify his actions, even if it was just “less than 20 grams of cocaine”. Plain and simple, he is going to be in there (rightfully) for a long time since he has a long record lol you should want better for yourself and if any children are involved, your children.

Girl you know what you should do that why u told us not to tell you to leave. Either ur okay with him and drugs or your doing them too either way he’s going to be locked up for a long time 20 grams of cocaine is a large amount. I pray you get a better head on your shoulders and get out

3.5-100 grams is a minimum of 38-46 months alone. Now hes also VOP and has a track record of drug related charges. He will probably be looking at anywhere between 10-25+ years

Addiction is a disease and shouldn’t determine the type of person he is… I know people addicted to heroine but they’d still give me the clothes off their back. These people need our support and not be shunned because of it. If he’s willing to work towards being clean there should be no judgement towards you for supporting him

Some of y’all are rude as fuck! Girl I had an abusive boyfriend an he was in an out of jail for drugs an violating is Probation. I would say for his record, Violation of his Probation an the cocaine. He may do up to 2 1/2 yrs. It depends though. Girl if he goes off to jail you need to get your priorities straight an not have babies around someone like that. I don’t know the whole story but someone who’s got a track record like he does isn’t good. Good luck doll

Sounds like u don’t want to leave

Having a husband that does/did drugs is something that you will have to live with for the rest of your life… whether he gets clean or not. I have been dealing with my husbands addiction for the past year. As far as jail goes and wondering how long he will be there, I would call the jail he is in and ask to talk to someone about all the details and they can help you from there(whether there can be a bond, how long he will be there, etc.) There will be a lot of questions you might not get answers to until he goes to court. In the mean time, I would call around and try to find an attorney for him and really think about what you want for him and you in the future. My parents got involved and it was either my husband get into treatment, or my son and I leave. You may not think about it this way but you could be putting you and your children’s( if you have any) lives in danger. CPS could get involved. I am so sorry you are going through this. I’ll keep you in my prayers. If you ever need anyone to talk to, feel free to message me! I know how exhausting and heartbreaking it can be.

It depends on his record, and how many charges hes found guilty of. Ni matter how long hes in for its likely it will happen again because he will most likely get probation whenever he gets out. Every phone call costs a ton of money, his canteen is expensive, it all sucks. Possesion of cocaine is a third degree felony so he could face up to 5 years for that given he doesnt have any priors but you said hes got a long track record for being in trouble so Id expect longer…

A long friggin time…he made piss poor decisions…so he is gonna be gone…my question for you is if he is your husband or fiance or whatever aren’t you supposed to wait regardless…are you asking to see if its worth waiting

Could be a while my dad was pretty bad growing up DUIs possession domestic what not he changed for better now that he got off drugs and quite drinking but it took my dad loosing me and my sister for him to grow up and be sober

Well they extradited him which means it won’t be for just a couple months that’s for sure. It would be a waste of time and money to extradite for minor offenses. And it’s not just about the new charge. He violated either probation or parole, you only said VOP. Which means he will most likely serve the remainder of that sentence and his new charges. You say “only” 20 grams like that’s nothing but 20 grams of coke is quite a bit. That’s not a simple possession charge. The best advice I have for you, which you don’t want to hear, is RUN! Run as fast and far away from him as you can because sweetie he isn’t going to change.

I think it depend on prior charges, the state you live in & if he has good behavior well there. And I am for one to advocate for you to help him get through it. Now is not the time to even consider leaving him. He needs you the most right now. Not all relationships or ppl are perfect. There are gonna be good & bad issues in a relationship but I also believe ppl should learn from their mistakes & not want to put his ppl (you) over & over into situations that doesn’t move you both forward. God luck to you both & I hope he knows you support him but it can’t continue to make setbacks. I would think you would want to move forward happy & on a nice direction! Best Wishes for a happy future.

I wouldn’t wait but thatsme🤷🏼‍♀️ if he wants to be fucking around getting in trouble w the law and not thinking of his family hell nah.

It’ll be a long time, I’m not sure how long. Since you didn’t say he sells, I’m guessing he is on drugs. Someone I know who was on meth as an adult I think has been in for 7 months for his/her longest stay. I don’t know the quantity, though, so it’s tough to say. I also don’t know if you get more or less time for cocaine vs. meth.

Depends on his charges hopefully long enough to dry out

So before I got my life together I spent my fair share in and out of the system for similar charger. A VOP he should wait about 30-40 days to be sentenced. I saw that he was arrested in Delaware that’s where I’m from and they are a lot more easier than Florida. If he got intent to distribute he’s screwed… there’s nothing you can really do until he’s sentenced and once he’s sentenced that’s when you make up you’re mind it a lonnnng road having someone important to you incarcerated. You have to think about you and your children. He won’t be able to support you what so ever. He will be asking you for money for commissary and to put money on the phone to talk to him. And if he’s in Florida those calls can cost up to 3-5$ for 15 minutes.

My son’s father was in and out of jail on drug charges. He wasn’t there physically, emotionally, or financially, and passed away almost a year ago from drugs. It will 1000% start taking a toll on you. You need to think about what’s best for you, as he clearly did not.
