If it's a charge under 2c there may be loss of license associated with it. You should plead not guilty and if the prosecutor doesn't want to dismiss the case then ask for a trial by a municipal court Judge.

Yes. It is a third degree crime that carries 3-5 yrs of jail. You will need a lawyer for this case.
Also, how would I be expected to pay it back? Would they take my federal tax refund? Do they take monthly payments? What if I can't pay?

Yes, they will more likely than not prosecute you. So far as paying back it's called restitution and it's based on your ability to pay so the Judge must hold a hearing on that issue if you don't agree to pay it back even by way of monthly payments while on probation.
Husband got open container/empty with two 6 packs in a commercial vehicle. He received two tickets which had been paid. Is that it? It was in PA and lived in NJ. Anything else to happen? I guess it is not a DUI.

If they just let him pay it then it's unlikely that it's DUI. But pleading guilty to open container in commercial vehicle may land him in trouble with motor vehicle, his employer and/or insurance. Speak with a PA attorney as my colleague suggested.

If they suspect heroin so long as it's well grounded suspicion they can arrest you for heroin possession. They can test it later in a lab. I imagine the authorities took the item that was used for sniffing because they don't want anyone to continue using it to sniff anything.

Speak with probation but rule of thumb is that you need permission to leave the state if you are moving. Still, it wouldn't hurt to ask the probation officer just in case. Also, read your sentencing report or Judgement of conviction to see if this question is addressed there.

expired license carries fine and state surcharges while unlicensed carries six months preclusion from getting a license once the driver becomes eligible for the license so it's basically a six month suspension from the day that the driver is about to get licensed.
