Colorado Springs Drug Trafficking Defense Lawyer
“Trafficking” refers to the act of transferring and moving large amounts of illegal drugs in order to distribute them, often across state lines. If you are suspected of being involved in any type of drug trafficking scheme, you may face serious charges for drug distribution in Colorado. This is true even if you weren’t driving the car with the drugs or ever actually handling the drugs (known as drug possession), as simply being involved in the facilitation of the operation can be enough to face serious criminal allegations.
If you have been arrested or believe that you may be under investigation for drug trafficking, you should contact an experienced Colorado Springs drug trafficking attorney as soon as possible. At the Gasper Law Group, we have represented clients in complex drug cases, so please call for more information about how we can help you today.
Penalties for Drug Distribution in Colorado
Colorado takes the sale and distribution of any type of illegal drugs very seriously, even for marijuana. The possible penalties that come with a distribution conviction can vary widely based on the type of drug involved and the quantity of drugs. Depending on the specific allegations against you, drug trafficking can result in the following types of charges and potential penalties:
- Class 1 Drug Misdemeanor – 6 to 18 months imprisonment, fines up to $5,000
- Class 3 Drug Felony – 2 to 6 years imprisonment, fines up to $500,000
- Class 2 Drug Felony – 4 to 16 years imprisonment, fines up to $750,000
- Class 1 Drug Felony – 8 to 32 years imprisonment, fines up to $1 million
The above maximum sentences can become even more serious based on other factors, including any prior drug convictions on your record or whether the drugs were distributed near a school or similar location.
