Question by Jeffrey V: By Washington state law, does my girlfriend have to store a known drug dealer’s personal property in her home?
My girlfriend was friend’s with this girl who’s boyfriend was busted for a 1/2 ounce of meth. He sent a letter to my girlfriend from jail stating for her and her elderly parents to hold his belongings until his release from jail which is in two or more years. I personally have an issue with this because God knows what unsafe things may be in this stuff and my girlfriend’s daughter who is seven should not have to be in the same home as his stuff. Any advice???

Of course she does not have to store his property. It’s her place. Furthermore, if there are drugs, there could be a case for constructive possession against her, so I would advise her to get rid of the stuff.
