Lying about your identity

I have a twin sister with a valid virginia license and I do not. I was pulled over because of a broken taillight and pretended to be her and said I didnt have a license on me and that I left it at home. After searching the car the police found an empty bag of cocaine that is not mine.I want to change the charges to be under my name but what will happen?

Better see a lawyer about this, quickly.
