Legal Question in Criminal Law in New York

My friend and I have allegations against us for providing weed and smoking with a 16 year old. I am 21 and she is 20. However, there is no hard evidence (video/pictures) of this ever occurring. It is only her word versus my friend and I. The girl is now in a lot of trouble and her mother is the one who wants to press charges against us. Currently, the 16 year old is residing in a psych ward because she became suicidal after this whole incident. I was wondering if there is enough evidence against my friend in I. The cop that we gave our statement to told us it could be possible the mother would want a drug test to be issued on us. He also told us he would be "going to bat" for us and that this case will just be a waste of everyones time. My questions are this: Is there even enough evidence for a drug test to take place? If a drug test does end up being issued, do I get a heads up before having to give one? Does a drug test even prove anything because weed can stay in the body for long periods of time? I am suppose to be getting a call from the cop tomorrow (February 9th 2011) to let us know if we must come in and get fingerprinted and arraigned or if the case isn't going to go anywhere. Would I be taking the drug test then if I must go in?
