Types Of Felony Charges

Most cases involving the possession of controlled substances, illegal narcotics or illegal possession of prescription drugs will be charged as a felony crime in either state or federal courts. There are three degrees of felony drug crimes:

• A first-degree felony is the most serious and can result in five to 99 years in prison.
• A second-degree felony can result in two to 20 years in prison
• A third-degree felony can result in two to 10 years in prison

Understanding Felony Charges

The decision to charge your case as a first-, second- or third-degree felony depends upon the type of drug and the amount of drugs believed to be in your “possession.” Aggravating factors that can significantly bump up the criminal charges against you include:

• Trafficking drugs across state or national borders
• Weapons present at the scene of the drug bust
• The involvement of a known gang or “criminal enterprise”
