In California, the penalties for drug possession can be quite severe, especially given the quantities and types of substances involved in the above scenario. Here’s a breakdown of potential charges:
- Methamphetamine (274g): Possession of methamphetamine can be charged as a felony, especially in large quantities. Penalties may include up to 3 years in state prison and substantial fines.
- M30 Pills (74g): These pills often contain oxycodone, a Schedule II controlled substance. Possession without a prescription can lead to felony charges, with penalties similar to those for methamphetamine.
- Xanax Pills (90): Xanax is a Schedule IV controlled substance. Possession without a prescription can result in misdemeanor charges, with penalties including up to 1 year in county jail and fines.
- Fentanyl (17.5g): Fentanyl is a highly dangerous Schedule II controlled substance. Possession of fentanyl can lead to felony charges, with penalties including up to 3 years in state prison.
- Currency ($1,000): If the currency is suspected to be related to drug sales, additional charges such as possession with intent to sell could be applied, leading to more severe penalties.
Given the combination of substances and the amount of currency involved, a suspect might face multiple felony charges with significant prison time and fines.
