a friend of mine was traveling back to college in NC. He and another friend were pulled over for "speeding". The cop got the drivers inforamtion and went back to his car. When he came back he said he smelled marijuana. Both denied having smoked anything. The officer checked the driver and then my friend and found nothing on either one. He then checked the car and found a zip lock bag with 4 smaller baggies of weed in it, on the passenger side where my friend was sitting (bucket seats with a middle console). He again asked my friend was it his and in his panic he said " yes, but I wasn't smoking it" The officer did put him in his cruiser and searched the car more. He found a few mmore bags just like the first. All together he found 12 grams of weed in 16 baggies. Since my friend stated he wasn't smoking the officer charged him with possession with intent to distribute. Is there anyhope ogf getting this charges dropped without him loosing his federal aid and ability to continue college?
