<human>: Hey this is the first time I'm really posting on reddit. My boyfriend was just arrested for possession of drugs as he was picking up in Queens. In retrospect, he is obviously apologetic for his stupidity. He was annoyed at my lateness in coming home so went to his drug dealer to pick up. On the way back, he took half a bite of one pill when an undercover cop asked him what he had. Being the idiot that he is, threw the half eaten pill on the floor and said he had nothing. Cops even said he should have just swallowed it all. He was searched and arrested, spent the next few hours in the county jail. Originally called me, but I did not pick up which may not have expedited his time in the holding ward. Cops said if he cooperated, he would be let off easily and would not spend the night in jail. He did, ratted out the guy somewhat (phone number, apartment complex) but not the exact apartment and I'm sure that guy has other cell phones. Boyfriend was given a Desk Appearance Ticket.

This is his first offense. He's never been arrested for anything; no tickets or anything and has a clean record. He also looks like another super innocent, clean asian dude but regardless, he was in possession of 1-2 oxycodone and 2 xanax - heavily controlled substances with potential for time in jail. He also recently had a neck injury from a 5 car crash and may be using it as an excuse that he was given bad advice from a friend. But anyways, what should be the next step? Do we need a lawyer?

He is planning on pleading Guilty before a judge in the hopes that it gives him a lesser sentence. We are hoping for it to just be a 1st time Misdemeanor and just get it stamped on his record.

Can you provide a brief rundown of the text in within 3 sentences?
<bot>: Boyfriend landed in jail for a few hours for possession of 2 oxy, 2 xanax. Slapped on the wrist with a court appearance. Next steps? Lawyer needed? Is he going to jail?
