I was pulled over by a cop for a headlight he came up to the car and claimed to have smelld marijuana asked me if i had anything illegal in the car

Criminal Law lawyer at The Law Offices of Charles D. Scott PLLC
If the cop did smell marijuana that would have given him probable cause to search the car without consent.  The smell is quite distinct and if you had been smoking, even earlier in the day, the car would probably have an odor that the cop could have noticed.  I am not sure why you would have handed the cop two closed beers, this may have given him the impression that you had been drinking and driving. Either way your lawyer can file a motion to suppress the search and seizure and let the judge decide whether the cop had the right to search your car. If the cop suspects a crime he does not need probable cause.  I assume you were charged with possession, a misdemeanor.

They can give a notice to appear for an offense like this. She should deal with her public defender or hire a private attorney to represent her.
