Drug Trafficking Charges in New York
If you have been arrested for drug trafficking, you could face years in prison if convicted — even if it is your first offense. Penalties vary depending on many factors, including the type of drug, the amount of drugs in question and your past criminal record.
Other factors that can affect penalties is whether there was a weapon involved in the alleged offense, or if anyone was harmed as a result of the alleged drug transaction.
