Legal Question in Criminal Law in Arizona

I was arrested for furnishing alcohol to a minor and weed possession. We were all standing outside and me and my 2 freinds were drinking a beer ( the minor already had his own bottle that he got before we got there from who I don't know) yhe minir is also 20 but then 2 cops walk up and told us to put are hands behind our backs and cuffed us and said he smelt weed. And to find out one of the guys had weed and a medical card for it and then he said we were all going to jail none of use smoked or had anything on us. The minor even admitted to getting the bottle on his own and we didnt not give it too him. We were there to help our minor friend move in and the beer we had was brought by one of the guys and it was only me and him that drank it. It's my first time ever getting in trouble. What do I do? I can't afford an lawyer! I was told I was going to jail without even comiting the crimes?!

The court may appoint a lawyer to represent you if there is a possibility of going to jail. The state has to prove the allegations beyond a reasonable doubt.
