Drug Charges That You May Be Facing

Depending on the factors surrounding your arrest, you may be facing a number of drug charges. Attorney Schantz can help develop a unique strategy to defend against charges such as:

Possession Of Controlled Substances

Possession of controlled substances is one of the most common drug charges in Oklahoma. The penalties for these charges depend on the drugs that are involved. Regardless of what kind of drugs are involved in these charges, you will likely still face consequences like fines, probation or incarceration, making understanding the legal distinctions crucial. Attorney Schantz can protect your rights if you were charged with possession.

Distribution And Trafficking

Distribution and trafficking charges are more serious than possession, involving larger quantities of drugs and carrying heavier penalties, including lengthy prison sentences. Distribution sentences range from two years to life in prison. Oklahoma drug trafficking sentences start at four years and can be up to life in prison. You may also face steep fines.

Distribution refers to the transfer of drugs to another person, while trafficking involves illegal trade or sale. You may face state and/or federal drug crime charges, depending on the circumstances of the case against you.

Paraphernalia Charges

Possession of drug paraphernalia, such as pipes, bongs, syringes and scales, can also result in criminal charges. While these charges may not seem serious, it is important to get the charges reduced or dismissed so a conviction does not make the consequences of any future charges more severe. You also do not want to have a criminal record that may preclude you from getting certain jobs or missing out on other opportunities.
