SOMEONE GAVE ME FAKE MONEY AND I GOT CAUGHT SPENDING IT, CAN I GET IN TROUBLE?

Yes, you can be charged with a crime. Whether they can convict you, is another matter. I would hire a local criminal defense attorney immediately if you can afford one. Do NOT talk to the police or FBI or any other law enforcement without an attorney present. You cannot talk yourself out of this situation and you can only make it worse. They can and will lie to you and threaten to arrest you. Still, do not talk. Ask for an attorney immediately and say nothing more until they give you an attorney.

Yes, you can be charged with a crime for passing counterfeit money.

Have you been contacted by the Secret Service or other law enforcement agency? Do you have reason to believe that law enforcement is investigating the situation? If you think that there is an investigation, your best defense is a good offense. Hire a lawyer ASAP and get him working to explain that you did not know the money was fake. If the prosecutor or Assistant United States Attorney can be convinced that there was an innocent mistake, maybe you can avoid charges.
