More details to this question:
The cops found one pain pill in my seat I didn't have a prescription for. I do have a prescription for another pain meds. My buddy was driving my truck and got pulled over for speeding. He didn't have a drivers license so they asked to search the truck and found it in my seat. My bond was $6500 that's with an open container.

They "asked' to search and the driver consented? You should never talk to the police, make admissions, or give them consent to search. He gave away his constitutional rights and got you arrested. If he was more informed he would not have consented and maybe you would not have gotten arrested. You then admitted everything to the police making it worse. They had no proof that the pill was yours until you admitted it. What you do not know can hurt you in life. Get a good lawyer to handle the case and read more.
