And by no means, you want this to happen. So, when you are charged with any criminal case including illegal possession of controlled substance, call a reputable criminal defense attorney immediately. It’s crucial that you’re well aware of your legal options and what needs to done to mitigate it.
On April 5, 2018, a 50-year old man was arrested being stopped in northwest Harris County. The man was allegedly found to be in possession of seven kilograms — about 15.7 pounds, according to the charging instrument — of crystal methamphetamine in the bed of his pickup truck.
Police deputies were assisted by members of the Drug Enforcement Administration.
The man faces felony charges of possession of a controlled substance with intent to deliver, a first-degree felony. He is being held under a $100,000 bond, according to the bail order.
According to the Texas Penal Code, possession of more than 400 grams of a controlled substance has a maximum penalty of life imprisonment or a term of 10 to 99 years and up to a $100,000 fine.
If you’ve been arrested, you need someone on your side. And, since an effective defense can mean the difference between a prison sentence and reduced or dismissed charges, your first priority should be to find an attorney at law who knows the criminal justice system—and specifically, Texas law.
