Why in the hell did you buy the plane ticket AFTER finding out he got arrested for drug possession and especially considering you knew he had a court date for July 13th? ? I'm kind of having a real hard time feeling sorry for you.

Get a refund of the plane ticket and use the money to get your Suburban out of impound and tell him he's on his own as far as how he's going to get his pothead a$$ to Germany AFTER he's completed his obligations to the courts and drug education/probation/whatever...

Then put him on a payment plan to pay you back ALL the expenses you incurred for him breaking the law.

If you don't force him to pay for it, you get what you deserve.

My wife and I went away for a weekend twenty years ago. Her 14 year old daughter decided to have a house party and a whole slew of scumbags invaded our house and trashed it. These little bastards drank every drop of alcohol in the house, smashed holes in the wall, injured our cat, stole a Nintendo and various games and actually tried to steal the stereos out of our cars.

The damages were well over $1,000.00 and we made her pay every, single damn penny of it back. It took her three years.

She never did it again....
