About Michigan Drug Charges
A defendant may face criminal charges for any of a number of particular criminal offenses all related to controlled substances, including illegal street drugs as well as prescription drugs. Under both state and Federal law, the unlawful manufacturing, distributing, cultivating, transporting, selling, possessing or trafficking of controlled substances may be punishable by imprisonment in state prison or county jail, and/or by heavy fines.
The severity of penalties that may be enforced in Michigan courts will depend on the type of drug and the amount, as well as the actual offense committed and the defendant's prior criminal record, if any. Other factors, such as weapons possession or participation in money laundering or related criminal activity may result in additional criminal charges and therefore increased penalties. If the offense occurred within a certain distance of a school, playground, church or community center, the penalties may also be increased.
