It is -104 and -105. Class C Misdemeanor (30 days maximum). Legend Drugs require a prescription to possess, and a license to sell. Hire an attorney to get it diverted, dismissed and expunged. Otherwise a conviction will hurt you for life. And stop selling them.
Class B misdemeanor but mugshot and charges say felony.

Be ready with a... View More

The appearance bond guarantees your being at Court or jail on certain dates. You can tell the bondsman what the Court ordered but what counts is showing up at Court when the Docket says you are supposed to. A bondsman could require you to report your case's status, but it would be unusual.
