Drug Crime Defense Attorney in Worcester
A defendant will face enhanced charges and increased penalties for any drug crime committed in a school zone. This includes any public or private school, even before or after school hours or during a holiday while the school is closed. Possession with intent to distribute or the actual distribution of a controlled substance within 1,000 feet of a school or within 100 feet of a playground will enforce a mandatory minimum term of imprisonment of 2 years. A defendant may also face a $10,000 fine imposed in addition to the prison sentence. Lack of knowledge of a school's location or boundaries is not a valid defense to these charges.
