I would probably plead not guilty and get a lawyer. You ave some good reasons to plead not guilty, and a conviction will follow you your whole life.

If you are being charged, I suggest that you retain the services of an attorney. I can't answer any more without facts.

Your question requires an attorney consultation. It is not a simple question that can be answered on this type of forum. There are many factors that would need to be considered and evaluated. I strongly suggest that you contact an experienced criminal defense attorney for a face-to-face consultation and give him/her all of the facts surrounding your arrest. He/she would then be in a better position to analyze your case and advise you of your options.

Hire a lawyer before you open your mouth to the wrong folks and incriminate yourself.

You should retain a criminal lawyer if you have the ability to pay a few thousand dollars for an experienced lawyer. If you are indigent the court will appoint an attorney to handle the case. If you knew that your friend was selling drugs then you may be guilty as an accomplice. if the jury believes that you did not know that he was about to sell drugs and you did not participate in any way they may find you not guilty. The prosecutor may offer a reduced plea or a drug program if he feels that the evidence is weak and that you might win the trial.
