What to do if I am charged with manufacture of marijuana and drug paraphenalia?
My office was broken into when I was out of town and when the police investigated the break in these items were found. Was this a legal search? I was asked to move out of the building and when I went to get my stuff I was arrested. I have yet to see the evidence they confiscated. There were 5 very small plants less than 6 inches high with 3 desk lights shining on them, digital scales, glass pipe, plastic pipe, and box of sandwich bags.

You need to consult a criminal defense attorney in your area immediately to discuss the facts of your case with and to build a defense. The attorney should be able to challenge the legality of the search. If the officers had a search warrant, then your presence during the time of the search is irrelevant. These are very serious charges and you will need the advice and counsel of an attorney.
