What to do if my son was caught with 10 grams of marijuana last year?
He was not arrerest or issued any fines. One of the policeman keep harrassing him via telephone to turn informant and if he doesn’t he will be charged with a felony. Can the policeman still press charges nearly a year later?

Based upon what you have written about, your son should consult with a criminal defense attorney about the matter and have the attorney intervene with respect to the situation. It is possible that charges could be made against your son a year after the incident but most likely none will be filed due to the long passage of time between the stop and the current date.
