Drug Smuggling Crimes in Georgia

About Drug Smuggling Charges

In Georgia, drug smuggling is a category of drug trafficking. Drug-related trafficking offenses are far more severe than other drug-related offenses. For charges of smuggling narcotics, a person could face immense fines and a serious prison sentence of more than 10 years. The exact punishments vary depending on the type of drug, the amount of the drug found in a person's possession, and the circumstances under which the arrest was made.

A person may face state and/or federal smuggling charges for any of the following:

• Possession of large quantities of drugs
• Intentionally transporting drugs across state lines
• Selling dangerous drugs

In addition to facing smuggling charges of Georgia state law, a person may also face federal charges. Although an individual may not face multiple convictions of the same charge, varying degrees of criminal offenses may become additional penalties and punishments. Facing a smuggling charge alone may easily turn a bad situation into something far worse.
