Even very small quantities of heroin can cause a person to face drastic criminal penalties. Possession and trafficking of heroin are felonies. A person arrested for a heroin offense is facing a minimum of one year in prison and heavy fines.

Accusations of drug crimes can lead to a wide range of results. Drug crimes can be charged in state or federal court. They can involve misdemeanors or felonies.
