Let Us Handle Your Mankato Narcotics Defense

Finding narcotics on the streets throughout the Twin Cities is rather common, as prescription drug abuse has been a topic of conversation among law enforcement for quite some time. This is simply due to the fact that prescription drugs are easily accessed and many individuals become addicted to them while taking them for pain. Nonetheless, there are some individuals that obtain the pills from loved ones, through illegal pharmacies online in order to sell them, and much more. Other times, individuals are falsely accused of possessing a narcotic illegally or attempting or successfully selling it.

Mankato Prescription Drug Charge Defense Attorneys

Regardless of the reason behind the accusation, if you have been accused of possessing, selling, trafficking, or distributing narcotics in any way, you deserve the representation of a Mankato drug crimes attorney who knows how to use the law to help you receive the best result in your case.

Proving The Facts In Your Case

It can be difficult for the prosecution to prove that possession of a narcotic leads to the sale of the drugs. However, there are some facts that the arresting officer and then the courts look at. They include:

  • Possession of measuring devices, such as scales
  • Possession of packaging used to package the drugs for sale, such as containers and baggies
  • Possession of a large amount of money
  • Possession of a buyers or pay-owe sheet or an address book for that purpose
  • Possession of a weapon
  • Possession of a pager, beeper, or cell phone that shows possible use as a method of contact to deal narcotics

In some cases, the sale of narcotics is classified as a federal offense, which means the penalties can be severe if convicted. The possession and distribution of an illegal substance is very serious and could have a negative impact on the rest of your life.

Fighting The Accusations Against You

You and your southern Minnesota drug crimes lawyer will aggressively fight the charges. Perhaps you were arrested with narcotics and charged with the intent to distribute, you are accused of actually distributing the drugs to minors, you allegedly distributed near a school, or you distributed near a park. There are many reasons for the charges and factors that can aggravate them. With the help of your attorney, you can effectively fight for a better future. Even if you did possess, sell, distribute, or traffic, that does not mean a lesser charge is out of the question so you can avoid the maximum penalties.
