Transporting Drugs

Transporting drugs and other controlled substances is a serious offense, and may be charged in conjunction with a trafficking or possession with intent to sell charge. You may be charged with transporting drugs if you are alleged to have had drugs on your person above a statutory amount, or with the controlled substances in your vehicle during a traffic stop.

An individual may alternatively be charged with a drug transport offense in conjunction with other offenses if he or she is alleged to have been in possession of a controlled substance. Such a charge may be applied even if the accused had a valid prescription for the substance, but was unable to produce it at the time of the stop.

It is important to contact an attorney immediately if you have been charged or accused of a drug transport offense. The sooner you do so, the sooner you can begin to prepare the defense that will ensure your innocence and freedom.
