You are not giving the whole story. Are you a minor? If so, and they found beer, guess what???? Probable cause. What do you mean no marijuana found? Something is missing here.
Re post with the full facts and then 1) consult with your public defender or 2) if you can hire private criminal defense counsel, try www.attorneypages.com and check his or her record at the Illinois State Bar.
