Drug crimes are very common occurrences. As such, the state takes all forms of drug crimes very seriously, and convictions come with an array of penalties. Drug crimes can include the use or selling of illegal substances, but one of the biggest drug crimes is drug trafficking.
Drug distribution cases can range from straightforward state cases where drugs are found during an arrest and the amount is considered more than a “usable quantity,” to highly complex drug trafficking conspiracies involving many hours of wiretaps and surveillance. This type of crime can include:
- Possession of Controlled Substances
- Possession of Drug Paraphernalia
- Manufacturing a Controlled Substance
- Trafficking
