Indiana Drug Crime Attorney

Have you been charged with drug offense and need the consultation of an Indiana drug crime attorney? The skilled and expert legal team at the law office of Tony Zirkle will defend your rights before any Indianan court. Depending on the particulars of your arrest and the subsequent charges, you could be looking at anywhere from a maximum of one year in jail (possession of marijuana) to a maximum of 50 years in jail (dealing drugs within 1,000 feet of public park). Possession is always a lesser charge than dealing or manufacture. But any offence will be aggravated if it involves a minor less than 18 years of age, takes place on a school bus, or within 1,000 feet of a school, public park, family housing complex, or youth center.

In Indiana, possession of less than three grams of cocaine, methamphetamine, or narcotics is a Class D felony. The charge is bumped up to a Class C felony if the amount of the drug is three grams or more or if the individual has a firearm on their person. It becomes a Class B felony if it involves a minor or takes place in any of the above mentioned youth related places. The manufacture or dealing of cocaine, methamphetamine, or narcotics is a Class B felony. Again, the charged will be bumped up to a Class A felony if it involves a minor or takes place in any of the above mentioned youth related places.

According to Indiana Code, fines and prison time for drug related felonies are:

• Class D Felony: up to three years in prison and a fine of up to $10,000.
• Class C Felony: up to eight years in prison and a fine of up to $10,000.
• Class B Felony: up to 20 years in prison and a fine of up to $10,000.
• Class A Felony: up to 50 years in prison and a fine of up to $10,000.

Possession of a controlled substance classified by the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) as a schedule I, II, III, or IV, is a Class D felony, except for marijuana or hashish. If the offense involves a minor or takes place in any of the above mentioned youth related places, the charge becomes a Class C felony. Possession of prescription drugs without a prescription is a Class C misdemeanor but becomes a Class A misdemeanor if the individual has a prior conviction for a similar offence. Possession of less than 30 grams of marijuana or less than two grams either hash oil, or hashish is a Class A misdemeanor. But, if it involves a minor or takes place in any of the above mentioned youth related places, the charge is then moved up to a Class D felony.
