I'm not sure from your message who your husband was trying to help or why. But it sounds like the sheriff found drugs and tagged them to your husband. And, either because of the amount or the nature of the transaction, the sheriff determined the drugs were not for his own personal use (it does not matter how much he was going to charge the final user). And you believe that the charges against your husband are not fair.

The best thing you can do is talk to a local lawyer. If you have information, but you are not involved in the drug transaction yourself, you can tell your husband's lawyer what you know. He or she will know how to use the information to help your husband. If you were involved in the transaction, you will need your own lawyer. If you cannot afford a lawyer, ask the Public Defender in your county how to get a lawyer appointed, or tell your husband's lawyer that you want to help, but you need your own lawyer, and can he/she help you find one.
