    What are the Penalties for Drug Charges in RI?

    Several crimes fall under the Uniform Controlled Substances Act. Some of the most common are possession of a controlled substance, possession with intent to deliver a controlled substance, and unlawful delivery of a controlled substance.

    • Possession of a controlled substance is a non-capital felony with a maximum penalty of three years in prison for a first offense, six years in prison for a second offense, and nine years for a third offense.
    • Possession with intent to deliver and unlawful delivery of a controlled substance are non-capital felonies punishable by up to 30 years in prison. If a person is arrested for possessing a controlled substance, they will most likely be released on bail unless they are already on bail or probation.
    • Possession with intent to deliver and unlawful delivery of a controlled substance are crimes that can automatically hold an accused in jail pending the completion of a bail hearing.

    If you, a friend, or a family member have been arrested for a drug crime in RI, contact The Law Office of Thomas C. Thomasian, Esq. immediately. The accused has the right to a bail hearing within ten days of arrest. Please do not wait to contact our attorneys as these crimes can carry severe penalties, and a person accused of either possession with intent or unlawful delivery should only hire a lawyer with a proven track record of successful drug crimes defense.

    Our attorneys have aggressively and successfully represented clients charged with drug crimes for years. This experience has shown that when law enforcement makes an arrest, they often violate an individual's constitutional rights. There are several rights that the United States and Rhode Island Constitutions provide to people. Included within these constitutional guarantees are a person's right against illegal search and seizure and their right to privacy. If the police violate those rights, our courts allow the evidence against the accused to be excluded at trial.

    The Law Office of Thomas C. Thomasian, Esq. has protected clients' constitutional rights by having all illegally obtained evidence against them, namely the controlled substances, suppressed. In most drug cases, once the drugs have been suppressed, the case will most likely be dismissed.
