Legal Question in Criminal Law in Virginia

Will i be charged later or what should i expect ?

I was pulled over for speeding while having passengers in my car. Supposedly my car has been called in few times throughout the months for suspicion of marijuana. I am 19 but my step-father came to make sure everything was fine. The police officer gets the consent to search the car from my step-father since it is under his name. They found some paraphernalia and old scraps of marijuana. The passengers and I was put in handcuffs and read our rights. Since i had no criminal record and this was my first offense i was not charged with either of them. I was only charged with the traffic tickets which i can pay off and don't have to go to court (no one else was charged for anything) but I also had 10 ecstasy pills within the car. They found and took the pills but no one was questioned or charged for them. I didn't know they where gone until i got home since the police did not mention or say anything about them. So what can i expect ?

Keep hoping that you won't be charged with possession of these ecstasy pills.
