Marijuana Possession Charges in Arnold, MO - for as little as $450

Did you recent receive a citation for possession of marijuana in or near Arnold, MO (or somewhere near St. Louis)? Was the amount of the marijuana above or below 35 grams in weight? Did you know that the amount of the drug can make a difference in how you are charged? Are you aware of the fact that Missouri has some of the strictest laws in the nation when it comes to marijuana? Did you know that if you hire an experienced lawyer to handle your case, the charges can be reduced to almost nothing?

There are thousands of people charged with possession of marijuana each and every year. It is a very common citation that police write up. But just because this type of charge is common, it does not mean that you shouldn’t take it seriously.

As of January 1, 2017, the following laws regarding marijuana possession went into effect:

1. If you are caught with less 10 grams of marijuana, it is a Class D Misdemeanor (unless you’ve already been convicted on a prior possession charge, in which case it would be a Class A Misdemeanor).
2. If you are caught with between 10 – 35 grams, it is a Class A Misdemeanor.
3. If you are caught with between 35 grams – 30 kilograms, it is a Class C Felony.

But a lot of marijuana charges are reduced to something minor (like “littering”) if you hire an experienced attorney to work a plea bargain with the local prosecutor. This is far better than simply pleading guilty to the charges as filed. Because if you plead guilty, you are greatly impacting your ability to get a job in the future (as well as student loans, or entry into college). And in some circumstances, the entire charge can be dropped. This typically happens when the illegal drugs are found by way of an unlawful search and seizure by the police.

Arnold, MO is a city in the northern part of Jefferson County.
