How Missouri Penalizes Drug Distribution Crimes

The penalties upon conviction for simple drug possession in Missouri are steep. The punishments that can be brought against someone for distributing drugs illegally are even harsher. Unless your criminal defense attorney can negotiate with the prosecutor who is assigned your case, any drug distribution charge is likely to be categorized as a felony.

The penalties for felony drug distribution in Missouri vary but will likely include:

  • At least one year in prison
  • Several thousand dollars in fines, or twice whatever profit was gained through distribution
  • Extensive probation upon release from prison
  • Probable revocation of gun rights for felony conviction

Penalties for a drug distribution charge will escalate depending on a number of factors. The drug in question can worsen the felony charge; for example, distributing cocaine is generally penalized worse than distributing pseudoephedrine. The amount of narcotics or illegal substances distributing will also be a major factor in how much the felony charge escalates. There are also a number of other miscellaneous considerations when the severity of charges are decided, such as your own criminal record, where you were arrested, and who received the illegal substances.

What Constitutes Drug Distribution?

The Missouri criminal justice system often bundles distribution, sale, and trafficking into one criminal category. With this broadened definition, a person can be charged with distributing drugs for a variety of reasons. While most charges are concerned with large scale drug trafficking, just the act of handing an illegal substance to another person for use or safekeeping can even be misconstrued into distribution. For this reason and more, you need to be fully aware of what the prosecution will likely claim you did so you can react accordingly and swiftly.
