^^This.

I'd say your trip to Italy should be postponed. If you get in trouble or fail to appear for any of your court dates, a bench warrant can and would be issued. Giving false information to a police officer is a serious offense.

My informal advice would be to stop using and get your head together to the point you can talk to a lawyer. I don't intend to offend you, but you need to regain control. There is very little that cannot be handled with proper communication and legal advice - which I suggest you seek sooner rather than later.

Hang in there, lady - keep your head up and talk to a qualified criminal defense attorney. Quickly.
 
I'm a little confused by your post.

1. Why were you pulled over and why was your car searched?

2. When they asked you for ID did you tell them that you didn't have any but here's my "name and address."

3. Did you receive a summons to appear in court?

4. How did your friend find out? Did she receive a summons in the mail or something?

You have got to come clean on this--it's a major offense. No trips to Italy. If you did this to me, we would no longer be friends and I would turn you in to the police if you wouldn't turn yourself in. Sounds harsh, but now she has a drug charge against her because of you.
 
I'd run it on the spot, beat your your ass and add

(2) Everyone commits an offence who transmits, makes available, distributes, sells or offers for sale another person’s identity information, or has it in their possession for any of those purposes, knowing that or being reckless as to whether the information will be used to commit an indictable offence that includes fraud, deceit or falsehood as an element of the offence.

the 368, 362, 380 and 403 hits on your synopsis
 
^ What state or country is this cite from, rangrz? Can you provide a link? Thanks. :)
 
I think how much trouble you could have coming depends on exactly where you are located in the country, and how much money you have for attorney. I don't think the charge would cost much for the lawyer to handle, and consultation are free. Talk to three different attorneys and ask friends if they can recommend any. I was recommended the same lawyer by 3 friends and I used him three times. Each time the case was dropped.

SO like Johnny1 said, where are you?

Ok, so your sister reported you ... to whom? Your Probation Officer / the local DA? (is your Probation Supervised or just to the Court/Judge?)
To the Maryland police department?
What do you mean "my name was never given?" Did you receive a citation in your sister's name as a result of the traffic stop?

Without answering those, we can't help you at all.
All that said, the warrant (if any) would be in Maryland, as your alleged offense of Giving False Information (whatever its called over there) occured in Maryland.
The only potential problem you'd face in Pennsylvania would be a Probation Violation accusation, and that would depend on your PO, or the DA / Court being made aware of what occured in Maryland.

Giving False Info is a Misdemeanor in my state, not a 'serious' offense, but enough for a warrant and a headache to be sure.
