If your mother has a valid prescription for the drugs then no she will not be arrested. If you are talking about illegal drugs then it is possible, although probably not at your court date. If they are illegal, your mother needs to get representation before saying anything. You should also talk to your attorney about these defenses hopefully in order to get the charges dismissed. This will not happen at your court date and could only happen at a motion or trial. Again, talk to your attorney.
