Wisconsin Drug Criminal Defense
Experienced Appleton Criminal Defense Lawyer
Attorney Mike Rudolph had defended people against criminal prosecution for more than 40 years with the majority of his practice devoted to all levels of drug crimes, drunk driving (OWI DUI DWI) offenses, disorderly conduct charges, disorderly conduct with domestic enhancers, battery, and domestic abuse.
Possession, Manufacturing, Distribution, & Prescription Drugs
Wisconsin's drug laws and penalties are very stiff, and prosecutors often pursue the maximum penalty for the crimes of possession of drugs, manufacturing of drugs, distribution of drugs, trafficking of drugs, keeping a drug dwelling, possession with intent to sell, and prescription drug abuse.
Federal & State Laws & Penalties
Wisconsin's statutory drug laws and penalties mirror those of the Federal Government with few variations. The penalties for drug crimes are called 'schedules' which are classifications created by the United States Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA).
Drugs are classified by the substances and chemicals used to make the drugs. Consideration may have also been given if the substance is used as a medication in the USA.
Five schedules (I, II, III, IV, and V) are based on whether they are accepted for medical use in the USA and their potential for abuse.
Drug Charges
In addition to the classification of drugs into schedules with corresponding degrees of punishments, drug charges not only depend on the substances, but also on your actions with the drugs.
Possession of drugs
A conviction for possession of drugs has varying penalties depending on the substance (type of drug), the quantity in your possession, and what your intent may be or appear to be, such as simple possession or possession with an intent to sell.
Manufacturing Drugs
Manufacturing a controlled substance or analog is unlawful under Wisconsin laws.
Trafficking, distributing, delivering Drugs
Trafficking drugs in the state of Wisconsin generally refers to manufacturing, distributing, or delivering a controlled substance (drugs) or an analog. The acts of selling drugs, sharing drugs, or even just passing drugs to another person are prohibited by Wisconsin Drug Trafficking Laws. Just being in the wrong place at the wrong time can result in very serious costly charges.
Keeping a Drug Dwelling (Drug House)
Wisconsin laws regarding running a place where drugs are manufactured, also known as the "drug house" or "drug trafficking place" statute, prohibits knowingly keeping or maintaining a place used for specific drug-related activities.
Prescription Drug Abuse
Prescription drug abuse covers a wide range of illegal actions including obtaining prescription drugs by fraud, deceit, misrepresentation, forgery, prescription forgery, hiding facts, or even using a false name or address. Wisconsin laws also prohibit falsely pretending to be a healthcare professional.
