Greeley Methamphetamine Possession with Intent to Distribute Attorney
Three People Facing Multiple Charges for 25 Pounds of Meth

Posted on
A 13 year old and his passengers were arrested for driving without a license and possession of meth with intent to distribute after an officer found 25 pounds of meth in the car.

Possessing over a certain amount of a controlled substance like Methamphetamine or Cocaine carries an assumption that you are intending to distribute or sell the drugs. That was definitely the assumption when a traffic stop led to the discovery of 25 pounds of Meth. According to the report, a 13-year-old boy was driving a car holding 25 pounds of Methamphetamine. He, along with a 22-year-old male and 19-year-old female are all facing charges for Possession of a Controlled Substance with Intent to Distribute. The 13-year-old is also facing added traffic charges of driving without a license and failure to drive in a designated lane.  Possession of Meth in that quantity is subject to a mandatory prison sentence in Greeley, Fort Morgan, and Sterling.

Weld County Unlawful Distribution of a Controlled Substance Lawyer: What is Possession with Intent to Distribute?

The Weld, Morgan, and Logan County, Colorado law definition of Unlawful Distribution, Manufacturing, Dispensing, or Sale – C.R.S. 18-18-405 – is:

It is unlawful for any person knowingly to manufacture, dispense, sell, or distribute, or to possess with intent to manufacture, dispense, sell, or distribute, a controlled substance; or induce, attempt to induce, or conspire with one or more other persons, to manufacture, dispense, sell, distribute, or possess with intent to manufacture, dispense, sell, or distribute, a controlled substance; or possess one or more chemicals or supplies or equipment with intent to manufacture a controlled substance.

Sentence for Possession of Meth with Intent to Distribute in Greeley and Weld County

The amount of the controlled substance decides what level drug felony is charged. In order to charge a level 1 drug felony, a person must possess more than 225 grams of a schedule I or schedule II controlled substance. Methamphetamine is a schedule II controlled substance and 25 pounds is well above the 225 grams, so the three above are facing level 1 drug felony charges, which are punishable by a mandatory sentence of 8 to 32 years to the Colorado Department of Corrections. In cases like these, unless a deal is worked out where they plead to a lesser charge or take it to trial and are found not guilty, a prison sentence is inevitable.
