I am a Criminal Defense Attorney in the Myrtle Beach area, but represent people all around the state. I just did an article on just what you are asking for. I wrote it for my web site, but I don't think its posted yet.

To answer your question, it all depends. Mostly what it depends on is where they found it. There is Actual Possession and what is called Constructive Possession. Actual means that one person has main control over it. Constructive Possession means its not on you, but you have access to it.

If I knew where it was found it would be helpful in answering the question.

You can email me or call me. I've provided my web site.
