As BS as the charge maybe you need to deal with it. I suggst hiring a lawyer to defend him. Your boyfriend is facing very serious and his exposure most likely is 2-5 years in jail. The fact that your boyfriend was the driver makes it appear that he was in on the deal with the undercover. I would help him by hiring a local lawyer. If you cannot afford a private lawyer you should get in touch with the public defenders office. The idea is to work out a deal to avoid him being violated.
