Depends. What county is this? You may be eligible for some type of pretrial diversion program that allows you to keep the charge off your record. I would be glad to speak to you free of charge to discuss your case further if you want.

The statutory max penalty for possession of cocaine is 5 years prison. It is a third degree felony.
