Sonora California Woman Arrested for Drug Possession

by

A 35-year-old woman from Sonora, California was arrested on drug charges after officials found 5.3 grams of methamphetamine, syringes, drug paraphernalia and a marijuana cigarette after pulling her over for another violation. According to a news report in MyMotherLode.com, the woman faces serious California meth drug possession charges.

Whenever drugs are confiscated, a California drug crime defense attorney will be needed to investigate whether an individual’s rights were infringed upon. A police officer cannot simply search a vehicle for drugs without probable cause. If illegal items are visible to anyone looking into a car window, they may be eligible to be seized by police. But without having facts to justify a search, items that are hidden in the trunk or glove compartment are harder for police to obtain.

Even when illegal drugs, such as Meth or Cocaine are found, a drug lawyer can play an important role in court. There are often alternative sentencing options available to people charged with a drug crime. Community service, rehabilitation and weekend jails may be some viable options for a person facing jail time and other serious penalties. A drug crime attorney in California can be a valuable asset in a possession case by reviewing all possible options for someone charged with a drug crime. California drug crime convictions carry severe penalties. You need an experienced criminal defense lawyer on your side.
