What Is Drug Trafficking?
Drug trafficking involves a person in possession of narcotics or other illegal substances who has the intent to distribute those substances to another person. A person will often face drug trafficking charges if the police officers believe there are signs the person had an intent to sell the drug or if the person possessed more than a personal amount of the substance.
Penalties For Drug Trafficking In Pennsylvania
Because drug trafficking is a felony offense, the penalties associated with this charge will be significant. Depending on the exact substance and quantity the accused was found to be in possession of, the presiding judge could hand down a prison sentence of seven to 20 years. If the case is tried at the federal level, the potential penalties could increase significantly.
