Drug trafficking covers many offenses including the act of transporting, selling, furnishing, administering, selling, or distributing illegal substances. Such a crime is a felony punishable by up to 5 years in prison and upwards of $10,000 in fines.
Any of the following circumstances can enhance the penalties:
To be convicted of drug trafficking, the prosecution must prove that the drugs were in a person's possession with the intent to sell or distribute them rather than for personal consumption. In addition to jail time, an offender can face heavy fines, asset forfeiture and registration as a narcotics offender. Repeat offenders will receive even longer prison sentences for additional drug convictions.
More serious penalties will be enforced when the federal government gets involved in a trafficking case. This normally happens when a person is suspected of trafficking in unusually large amounts of methamphetamine or distributing drugs across state, or national borders. A federal trafficking conviction can result in at least 10 years to life in jail and a $10 million fine for a first offense.
