What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? North Carolina.
I was pulled over for speeding and the officer "smelled" marijuana giving them probable cause to search, I was intoxicated at the time on xanax and got arrested for DWI. There were 2 other passengers, when the car was searched they found 90 xanax pills in the glove compartment that belonged to the other passenger as well as less than half oz of marijuana, the state is charging me for misdemeanor possession of the xanax and the marijuana even though it was not mine. The xanax were in a plastic baggy by the way. Is there anyway I can prove that the bag of xanax in the glove compartment was never mine, i do remember the bag containing 4 pills that were prescribed to one of the passengers, this passenger put them in the bag with the xanax. Would I be able to use this to prove innocence of the possession and if not what repercussions could i be facing. This is the first offence on my record ever, I am 20 years old, I'm willing to be on probation for as long as needed and do community service/take whatever drug classes needed to not face any jail time. Thanks for your help.
