Drug Trafficking is a Serious Felony Offense in Pennsylvania

Under Commonwealth law (35 Pa. Stat. § 780-113), it is strictly illegal to traffic in controlled substances. You may hear the law referred to as the Pennsylvania Controlled Substances, Drugs, Devices, and Cosmetics Act. Pennsylvania defines trafficking as a broad distribution offense.

You can face a drug trafficking charge for knowingly participating in the illegal manufacturing, distribution, or sale of controlled substances. Drug trafficking is a very serious felony criminal offense. How serious? The answer depends on the specific circumstances of the case. Two of the most notable factors are the type of drug and the amount.

Drug Trafficking May Lead to Federal Criminal Charges

You can be charged with drug trafficking under Pennsylvania law. Many drug crimes are state-level crimes. However, with trafficking/distribution cases, federal charges are sometimes filed. Federal prosecutors may have jurisdiction over a drug trafficking case if the distribution operation is alleged to have crossed state lines.

You have the right to defend yourself against a criminal charge. Any person arrested for drug trafficking is presumed innocent until proven guilty. Some common defenses include:

  • Insufficient evidence
  • Unlawful search or seizure
  • Lack of intent to distribute
  • Police entrapment
