Defense Against Criminal Charges For Illegal OxyContin Possession

OxyContin is a prescription opiate that relieves moderate to severe pain. When used properly, OxyContin and oxycodone are powerful and safe. In pill form, the opiate component can be extracted and condensed into a powerful illegal narcotic that police and prosecutors throughout Utah have recently targeted in drug arrests and raids.

Possession Of A Legal Drug Doesn’t Make You A Criminal

Police are quick to arrest anyone whom they feel is in possession of too many legal drugs that contain OxyContin or oxycodone components. Such prescription drugs include Endocet, Percocet, Roxicet, Tylox and even some over-the-counter drugs in low doses, such as Tylenol.

If you were arrested in Utah and charged with possession of OxyContin or precursor drugs that contain oxycodone, contact a Salt Lake City OxyContin possession charges attorney at Greg Smith and Associates. As someone with prosecutorial experience, attorney Greg Smith has seen firsthand how assistant prosecutors drum up charges to get convictions on narcotics charges. But possessing a legal prescription drug doesn’t show intent to commit a crime. We fight aggressively to protect your rights.
