Understanding Drug Possession Penalties in Wisconsin
Wisconsin penalizes all kinds of behavior involving controlled substances, from possession to cultivation to distribution. Generally, possession of most drugs is a misdemeanor for a first offense, punishable by up to 6 months in jail and a fine of up to $1,000. Subsequent offenses could result in up to 3.5 years in prison.
What are the Penalties for Selling Drugs in Wisconsin?
The penalties are harsher for more serious offenses, such as selling drugs or possessing drugs with the intent to sell. Sale and distribution are felonies, and the sentencing range will depend on the amount of drugs involved. At the very least, a defendant could face up to 3.5 years in jail and $10,000 in fines, though the penalties could escalate to 15 years in jail and $50,000 in fines.

Building a Strong Defense Against Drug Crime Charges
We are also dedicated to fighting to protect your rights by getting charges reduced or dismissed altogether. Drug offenses often involve law enforcement going into a defendant’s home, stopping them on the street, or searching them. However, there is a specific protocol for when law enforcement is allowed to search you. Improper behavior can lead to the suppression of evidence or even the complete dismissal of your case. We can investigate how law enforcement acquired the evidence against you and protect your rights against unlawful search and seizure.
