I Was Arrested With Marijuana Possession Charges, Please Help?

Question by Romeo: I was arrested with Marijuana Possession charges, please help?
Me and 4 friends went to pick up some weed, in my car. It was for a 16 year old in the back, the rest of us are all over 18. The police saw us buy the weed from my car. When I was pulled over he asked me “What did you buy from the man in the hoodie?” I answered truthfully “Some weed officer” and he asked to hand it over. I asked the guy in the backseat who BOUGHT the weed to give it to me and I handed it to the police officer. They charged ALL 5 of us in the car with Possession of Marijuana, because when he asked me who’s weed it was I didn’t want to say a name because that would screw me over with my friends. So I said it was all of ours. But I don’t smoke weed anymore, it isn’t mine. In fact, only ONE person in my car that night smokes weed and it was the MINOR who was purchasing it. After that they brought dogs and started sniffing my car, and SOMEHOW they reacted. But there was NOTHING in my car.. maybe some bits and pieces of weed from when I used to smoke. So my car was impounded and they want 900$ for it back. So we all spent the night in jail, me and the guy in the front seat were told to write a story to the detective in the morning. Both of our stories matched since we used sign language across the cells to communicate. As for the 3 in the back, the 16 year old was sent through the “juvenile” process. And the others were bailed out, nobody asked them anything. Somebody has to claim the weed when I go to court, I can’t take the blame for it. Is it right for all of us to blame the 16 year old? And how can I explain the dogs reacting positively to my car? I think I’ll say they tried getting rid of the weed and some of it spilled? I don’t know.. I quit smoking a while ago.. I quit drinking a while ago too. Sort of ironic that this happens to me after I quit. Please help me…..
So even if we all say it was his.. I am responsible? I live in Michigan.. The detective didn’t tell me anything like that. He told me to plead not guilty if what I told him is true, which I did. What’s the worst I could do?
Claim I bought it for him? He bought it.. he handed it and received it. It’s worse to blame it on the 16 year old then?… What should I do in court? I already wrote to the detective that the 16 year old bought it.
What if I say I didn’t know he was 16?….

You should never have been in that car. You need a good lawyer, and throw yourself at the mercy of the judge.
