So this is a completely hypothetical situation, but I'm curious to know that if this were to take place, if it would halt pursuing charges or cause charges to be dropped, or on the flip side, if this would be used against some one in court.

Situation:

An individual is arrested for intent to deliver drugs of various kinds. Upon being arrested this individual hypothetically has a nasal spray bottle full of illicit drugs. Upon being arrested the officers hypothetically suspect the nasal spray bottle is actually just saline nasal spray, the officers allow the perp to keep the nasal spray solution on his person as they handcuff the individual and take them to an interrogation station.

Hypothetically, upon entering the interrogation station, the individual is left alone in the room, the nasal spray is left on the table, and the individual waits. For a period of about 30 minutes, a few officers walk in to ask if the detained individual needs water. He says no, but one time asks the officer if he can administer his nasal spray bottle for him as he has recently had nasal surgery. hypothetically the officer permits, and administers multiple sprays of an illicit substance to the detained.

In what ways would this affected upcoming trials? Charges? Or addition of charges?
