FAQs

What qualifies as a federal drug crime?

Federal drug crimes usually involve possessing, trafficking, manufacturing, or distributing a controlled substance. Prosecution moves to federal court if the incident crosses state lines, takes place on federal property, or meets certain criteria laid out by federal law.

How are federal drug cases different from state drug cases?

Federal cases are prosecuted in federal court, follow federal guidelines, and typically involve federal agencies. Penalties for conviction tend to be more severe than those in state court.

What comes next after an arrest for federal drug charges?

After arrest, people typically appear before a federal judge for an initial hearing. The case process then includes pretrial motions, hearings, and possibly a federal grand jury indictment.

Can I get bail after being arrested on a federal drug charge?

Whether a person gets bail depends on several factors, such as the crime charged, any prior record, and the court's determination of risk. Federal judges evaluate these elements before making a decision.
