Question: Can I be charged with possession after I have been arrested?
Question Detail: I was intoxicated, heavily, according to the police report they found me bleeding on a side walk, when they tried to right me a ticket I ran. I really don’t remember the night, but yesterday I got an email from the wvu saying that I had been charged with possession, on my ticket the only charges are public intoxication, and obstructing an officer. Can they charge me if there was nothing in the report or the ticket?

You can get charged with possession after you are arrested.  Once arrested there is a search of your person incident to arrest and also potentially a search of your vehicle.  If drugs or some illegal object/substance is found during those searches then you can be charged.
