Yes, they can. I see cases like this very often. One of the most important issues is whether or not probable cause existed for the presumably warrantless search, and for the stop itself.
I spoke with the judge over it she sent him a subpoena u think she is taking it serious?

Yes. The real question is why did he have access to the money and why wasn’t it in a blocked account.

Someone I know has an outstanding bench warrant in a criminal case for failure to appear. Is he technically a fugitive? He's requested I help him out with some bills, and I've done so in the past. Am I "aiding and abetting" if I pay his electric bill, or offer him other financial aid?

Very unlikely. You can go redocket them yourself and hope they don’t arrest you then or before the court date, but that’s an awfully big risk.

Hire a lawyer to get the warrant set aside and resolve the case.
He got caught with a thc pen at school he is 4 months away from turning 18 can he be tried as an adult?

He cannot be tried as an adult although charges could be brought in juvenile court. If he has no record, probably a dismissal or diversion is your end result.
