3rd degree possession of controlled substance is likely some oxy or similar. Without the gun, he would likely have gotten just a slap on the wrist.

We had guys with weed and guns that didn’t lose a day :lol: it’s hard to judge without knowing what he had. Our guy with “controlled substance” was a weed vape bc it’s considered concentrated.

Not sure where you are from but weed under a certain amount is typically not a felony. The gun doesn't turn into a felony multiplier unless the drugs are considered a felony. I don't think the gun considered a felony unless the drugs are already considered a felony.
