Charges for drug paraphernalia with iron clad alibi...

Asked in Whitewater, WI - almost 3 years

I live in a house with a few room mates in a college town, I was 30 miles away in another town working one night when our house was busted for a party. My roomie called me that night at work and told me what happened, and that the police found a marijuana pipe in my room....I don't own one. My roomie commented that another friend had invited some people that we didnt know so well, I also remembered that my room was unlocked so anybody could have gone in there. The party was around 6-10 people, my roomie was cooperative and let them in because most of the people had left, the cops searched our house and found the pipe in my room...The police say that i'm responsible for whats in my room, yet I have a spotless record and tried to tell them I was gone and dont know what was going on.
