QUESTION
What can my girlfriend do if she was charged with possession of marijuana that is not hers?

More details to this question:
To Whom It May Concern: My girlfriend was recently charged with marijuana possession after a routine traffic stop due to tags being expired. However, the driver stated that the drugs found in the vehicle were his and my friend was also charged with possession. How is this fair and possible when he clearly stated that the drugs were his? Now my friend has her first charge for something that she had no control over and did not have in her possession. Any information and Florida statutes that would state as to what she should do next would be greatly appreciated. Thank you for your time and patience.

What she should do next is, of course, hire a local criminal defense attorney. She is basically charged with constructive possession, but a creative attorney can perhaps even get the charge dismissed. The attorney will review all of the facts and act accordingly.
