They can charge whoever has possession or constructive possession. A charge is not a conviction, they have to prove their case beyond a reasonable doubt. I suggest finding a lawyer to make the defense you did not possess.

Constructive possession means that the ADA would have to prove that you knew or should have known about the drugs in the car. It can be a tough case for the state. Contact the office to discuss more.
