A: Hire an attorney to represent you on that felony. Yes, you get charged like everyone else in the car. That will ruin your life. It may be an illegal stop or you might not have had anything to do wit h the drugs. If you did, then you will want to plea to alot less than a felony. Again, hire a competent attorney now.
