I am a college student in Tallahassee. Last night, I was caught urinating next to my car and had a fake ID in my wallet, which could lead to a felony charge. The officer offered me a deal to bust a known drug dealer on campus to avoid the felony and jail time. I was given a ticket for disorderly conduct and a court appearance. The officer said the charge might go away if I comply with the drug dealer offer, but warned of a warrant if I don't call the officer the next morning. Is a warrant likely if I don't comply? Can I ignore the offer and deal with the misdemeanor? Could my offense be escalated back to a felony if I don't comply with the offer?
