Steroid Possession Lawyers in Barnegat, NJ
N.J.S.A. 2C:35-10(a)(1) is the New Jersey statute which handles steroid possession charges. The statute states that it is unlawful for any person knowingly or purposely, to obtain or to possess, actually or constructively, a controlled dangerous substance (steroids). This law is particularly straightforward. However, many strong defense lawyers have successfully litigated questions over “possession.” In particular, our firm has obtained multiple dismissals on drug possession charges by attacking the State’s inability to prove “actual possession”, “constructive possession” or “joint possession.” To discuss whether or not your case can be defeated due to a violation of your constitutional rights, call our Point Pleasant office today.
Is there Jail time for Steroid Possession in NJ?
Steroid possession cases will be considered third degree felony offenses in New Jersey, even if the Defendant only had one pill of Anavar. A Defendant facing a third degree felony could be sentenced up to five years in a State Prison, fined up to $35,000 and have their driving privileges revoked for six (6) months. With that being said, depending on the Defendant’s prior criminal history and the circumstances surrounding the charges, they maybe eligible for the Pretrial Intervention Program or Drug Court. These are diversionary programs in New Jersey that allow certain Defendants the ability to avoid jail and in some circumstances, avoid a criminal record.
