The fact that it's your employer has little bearing on the charge. Did you know that you were picking up pills for his addiction? If you were running an errand for what you thought was a legal prescription, then you had no intent. That all said, it will be up to the state on whether to charge you and getting yourself a good attorney to fight it early is the best way to handle this.
