Re: Charged with driving under the influnce of drugs
The answer to you first question is no, most likely not, if you mount a competent defense.
Yes, it is possible for you to be charged(and convicted)of a drug possession charge, if the prosecutor can convince the trier of fact in the case that you had what's known as constructive possession of the prohibited substance, i.e., you were near enough to its physical location to exercise command and control over it, as a practical matter.
Based upon what you've stated so far, I would strongly urge you to retain competent criminal defense counsel to represent you or to ask that
the court appoint such counsel to represent you if you cannot afford to hire such.
