New Jersey Attorneys to Help You Fight Oxycodone Possession and Distribution Charges
Oxycodone is a highly addictive drug that is widely abused in the United States. If you are caught possessing, buying, or selling oxycodone or oxycodone prescriptions illegally in New Jersey, you could be arrested and charged with a drug-related offense. While oxycodone may provide relief from pain when prescribed correctly, having illegal possession of up to four oxycodone pills or tablets can lead to imprisonment of up to 18 months and fines of up to $10,000.
Being convicted of possession or intent to distribute oxycodone, obtaining oxycodone through fraud or forgery of prescription does not only affect you immediately but may also create lifelong problems. It can impact your job applications, school loans or scholarships along with public assistance programs. If you need legal help in such cases, Spodek Law Group’s criminal defense attorneys are experienced and qualified to represent you aggressively.
Charges Related to Oxycodone Possession and Distribution
Oxycodone is one of the most commonly abused drugs in the US and is considered as a highly regulated substance under state laws. A licensed doctor or pharmacist can only dispense it to someone who needs it. Any illegal distribution, possession above legal limits or fraudulent prescriptions created using different identities is an indictable offense in New Jersey jurisdiction.
Penalties for various offenses related with oxycodone usage differ depending on their severity (in terms of dosage) which can result in fines/ imprisonment as follows:
| Offense Level | Dosage Range | Fine Amount | Jail Term |
|---|---|---|---|
| 4th Degree | Less than 5 dosages | Up to $10,000 | 18 months or less |
| 3rd Degree | Between 5-99 dosages | Up to $200,000 | 3-5 years in jail |
| 2nd Degree *, * Most serious offense | Over 100 Dosages | $300,000 | 5-10 years in jail |
Illegally distributing oxycodone follows a similar pattern of charges progressing in severity according to the number of dosages distributed. Similar Charges can also be pressed if someone obtains Oxycodone using fraudulent prescription . Life-long penalties like imprisonment or hefty fines may be imposed on those caught possessing large quantities of pills or illegally distributing them.
