Q: DA offices said No charges will be filed against my sons. But the detective says it's being referred to probation. Why
My son was cited intent to sell 3 thc cartridges. DA office rejected the case. I contacted the detective to get my sons phone back, and he informed me that my sons case is being referred to probation and he isn't able to give me back the phone. The only paperwork I received was from the DA office saying that they aren't filing charges. I'm not sure why the detective won't release the phone.
