This happened to me I was arrested for a peppermint wrapper and no one listened to me or believed me until my life had been completely ruined this arrest caused me to lose my newborn son to dfcs who was then murdered by his foster parents at 7 months old I was young and I was already on probation for a mistake I made in my early 20’s so the new charge caused my probation officer and judge to sentence me to 15 months in prison and when being arrested I was 6 weeks pregnant while waiting to go to prison the district attorney came to see me in regards to the pending possession charge to inform me that it tested negative for any illegal substance and was a candy wrapper and all charges had been dismissed but even though I was innocent I still had to go to prison and have my now 7 year old daughter in prison alone and terrified and then lost my home of 26 years. All because I was arrested for a peppermint wrapper
