Felony Drug Trafficking Charges in Geary County, Kansas

Since the legalization of Marijuana in Colorado there has been a significant increase in the amount of Marijuana that is being trafficked through Kansas.  Interstate 70 (I-70) is a ready means of access out of Denver, Colorado to most locations to the East.  This means that along the I-70 corridor law enforcement is on the lookout for out of state tags heading east.  This is especially true in Geary County, Kansas.   Junction City serves as the county seat for Geary County and the Geary County District Court.   So often a minor traffic infraction along this stretch of Kansas highway has resulted in the subsequent search and seizure of drugs and/or drug proceeds. 

Getting caught trafficking drugs through Kansas will almost always result in being charged with a drug felony.  The severity of the felony could range from low, like a level five felony for simple possession, to high, like a level one felony for possessing more than 30 kilograms.   These felony drug charges can carry a sever penalty as high as 204 months in prison if you have an extensive criminal history.  Often these charges also come with a forfeiture action wherein the State will try to seize any property that you have, including vehicles that may have been used during the transport of the illegal drugs.  This is a major hassle that compounds the problem of your Geary County felony criminal charges. 

When being charged with a serious drug felony,  it is recommended you contact an experienced criminal defense attorney in the area who is familiar with the jurisdiction.
