My boyfriend, who is a convicted felon was pulled over and during the search of his vehicle the police found a firearm under the driver seat. The gun belongs to his friend who he let borrow his car the night before and accidentally left the gun in the car upon returning it. What can we do to get the charge dropped since my boyfriend was unaware of the gun being in the vehicle?
