Drug Offenses in Yavapai County, Arizona

Arizona Laws are very detailed when it comes to which drugs are considered illicit substances in the state, including Yavapai County. Arizona has some of the nation’s harshest penalties and restrictions when it comes to simple possession. Here is a quick breakdown of some of the banned substances and their potential sentences for possession:

• Cocaine: If arrested with under 9 grams of cocaine or 750 mg of cocaine base then this can be prosecuted as a possession charge. For a first-time offense, this could mean up to a year imprisonment and over $2,000 in fines. If you have a criminal record then the penalties can be much harsher.
• Methamphetamine: If a person is arrested with under 9 grams of Methamphetamine, another amphetamine, or a precursor, then they could be facing 1 to almost 4 years imprisonment. 
• Heroin: A person can be charged with possession if they are arrested with up to 1 gram of heroin, if you are arrested with more then the charges could be possession with intent to sell or worse charges like distribution.
