Legal Question in Criminal Law in North Carolina

My friend was recently caught with marijuana threw the mail. The police put him in handcuffs and took him to a facility, not the police station, or a sheriffs office. They told him that they wanted him to be a informant for them. They told him to call them back in 2 weeks with info. My friend doesn't want to be a snitch and he wants to know can they still charge him even tho, they didn't charge him on the day of, and that its two weeks later after the incident.
