You do not have to test positive to be charged with felony possession. All you have to do is have it in close enough proximity that you could be in control of the substance.
If the officer lied about seeing her snort the cocaine, has her family told her she was an idiot to stand there and watch her friend or date snort up? You may or may not agree with the charge, but it is the law.
And, read the article again, I just did. The article does not say that Tamplin or the other guy tested positive for cocaine: It says the bottle they were holding tested positive. Daddy can sue the Red and Black all he wants. They were reporting the incident and the facts as listed by the officer. Even if the officer is mistaken, it's called 'absence of malice'.
