Legal Question in Criminal Law in Alabama

forcing an informant

My boyfriend was pulled over and caught with a small bag of methamphetamine residue. The place he was leaving from was known for sale. The police let him go but told him that a warrant would be issued for his arrest in three days unless he worked with them to bust someone from where he was leaving. Is this legal?
