Q: They're talking about re-arresting me when the lab results come back on the same charges I already bonded out on, legal?
I was pulled over and charged with possession. I had a tiny bag of meth and a "mixed" bag of coke and meth, at least that's what i was told it was. I was never 100% sure what it was mixed with and still don't, but If it's fentinol it'll be a little over 1 gram. I was under the impression it was a mix bag as I earlier mentioned, but I'm worried it could have fentinol in it as I have used the drug in the past, just not often enough to know the difference. I had an arraignment date which I went to, that they postponed for 2 days cuz they didn't have my case n the system yet, well I went today and they denied it cuz they didn't have the lab results back yet. They told me they could re arrest me depending on what the results came back as or they could drop it all together if the results come back with nothing. We'll it's not gonna come back as nothing obviously, so I'm worried I could end up n prison over this. It's my 1st possession charge and I'm scared. Pls help me figure out what to do!

A:
Each county handles these matters a little differently, but the best thing you can do is monitor OSCN/ODCR to see if a case ends up being filed and stay in touch with your bondsman. If charges do get filed, your bondsman can likely repost the bond and set you up with a new arraignment date (and avoid the warrant going active).
Additionally, I strongly discourage you from posting online or talking to anyone about what occurred or what was seized from you, except your attorney. If you do not have an attorney yet and are wanting to wait to see if you are charged, then don't talk to anyone about the facts alleged against you by the State or police.
