Criminal Law lawyer at The Law Offices of Gerald R. Smith
This is potentially a very serious issue. In Washington, falsely reporting a crime is a gross misdemeanor punishable by up to one year in jail. Additionally, you could be required to pay restitution for the costs associated with investigating the nonexistent crime you reported. Whether you are likely to be charged is primarily a matter of police and prosecutor discretion. Under some circumstances the consequences could be even more severe. You should consult with an attorney directly and immediately before doing anything further.

If the car was not yours and there is no evidence to link the drugs to you, you may be able to beat the charge. Make sure you hire a good lawyer.

I would have to see the report and what you actually said. If it was just an innocent mistake, then probably nothing. If you intentionally lied to the police, then you could be charged with perjury which is a Class C felony.
