A: more info needed.

i assume it was drugs, and so if it was in your car you are charged with Possession, not ownership.

you need to contact a local lawyer who handles cases in the court to which you are assigned

A: Lawyer up. What you are wanting to do may not have the affect that you think it will have. Rather than dismissing the charge on the person you are trying to protect, the DA may just charge you both if you now say it was yours.
