Minors are capable of committing many of the same drug crimes as adults. Los Angeles juvenile defense lawyer David D. Diamond has represented minors against a variety of drug crimes, including:
- Possession
- Possession with intent to sell
- Selling drugs within a school or playground zone
- Distributing drugs to other minors
- Possession of drug paraphernalia
- Drug distribution
- Drug transportation
- Possession of prescription or over-the-counter drugs for illegal purposes.
Any minor who commits a drug offense will likely face the same legal penalties as an adult convicted of the same charges. This can include imprisonment (usually in a juvenile detention facility), fines, community service, mandatory drug treatment, driver’s license suspension, and more. However, in many drug cases involving minors, there is a good chance the attorney can negotiate for a diversion program or alternative sentence instead of incarceration. In a diversion or alternative sentencing program, the minor will get the education, counseling, and treatment he or she needs to address their behavior so there is less of a chance they will commit another drug crime in the future.
