There are various issues that arise when a person is arrested. It will be necessary for you to retain an attorney for your daughter. I would encourage you to not allow your daughter to explain anything to anyone OTHER than her attorney. This includes her parents, grandparents, ANYONE. There are legal reasons for this advice.
Get her to an attorney as soon Delivery of a controlled substance can be charged if the fact pattern fits the circumstances...proving it may be a whole other matter.
I encourage you to make an appointment with a trial lawyer who does criminal law and has experience in handling these types of cases. This charge could potentially be a felony.
