Noa Lakshmi hasn't added a story.
On September 19th, we got pulled over by the Pennsylvania State Police and were arrested for charges of transportation of marijuana.
We were pulled over for a minor traffic violation while traveling to the East Coast, and a search was persisted.
Before going any further to talk more about what happened, it's important to know that sharing the emotional details of this incident is in no way excusing the situation.
That being said, it was the most terrifying moment of our lives. They took us to the police station and after a few hours of processing, we were brought to the county courtroom.
Noa ended up spending 11 days in county jail, and Michael spent almost two weeks in there before finally getting released after reduced bail.
We went through a roller coaster of emotions sitting in prison. Desperation, doubt, fear, shame, hopelessness... it was horrible.
The most amount of help and relief came from talking to family and friends. It was such an immense blessing to see the way people were showing up for us. We were so moved and grateful, especially coming from a totally hopeless place. Thank you to those friends - you really saved us. You were our lifeline during the biggest hardship we’ve ever experienced.
Legal Support
One friend put us in touch with an attorney from Pennsylvania who specializes in cases like this. He knows the state laws, and has a clear understanding of protecting citizens' rights, and particularly with the ins-and-outs of cases like ours; his experience is very good, as he's been practicing for 40 years. He agreed to take our case and we feel very fortunate to have him. We trust him to successfully represent us through the coming legal proceedings.
The hopeful news is that the situation isn’t lost. We can’t go into all the legal details, but just know that with the help of our attorney, there’s definitely hope for the case to be resolved without any additional time spent in prison. So far, we’ve been able to pay for an initial portion of the lawyer fees and we’re doing everything we can to come up with the rest. Our legal fees are roughly 30K and we've paid about 10k to date. Our situation is very challenging at this point, but we're striding boldly yet humbly forward with honesty in and determination in our hearts.
Asking for financial support in this situation isn’t easy. There’s a part of us that wonders why anyone would want to help us, that being said, this is the reality of where we’re at, and we could really use your help.
If you feel called, this is the place to donate. Whatever you can give will help immensely. We truly want to remain free, and to move forward with our lives responsibly, wiser, and lovingly contributing to the world around us.
Also, we’d love it if you keep us in your thoughts and prayers, and hold the intention for us to be free.
We’re so very grateful for those who already donated after an initial post was made. We thank you from the bottom of our hearts.
Thank you for hearing us, thank you for your support, and thank you for helping us get through this.
With immense gratitude,
Noa & Michael
