Penalties for Drug Transportation
Drug transportation is a felony in the state of Virginia. The penalties for transportation will depend mainly on the type of substances, such as whether or not it was a Schedule I, II, III, or other drug classification. If the evidence finds that the intention was to bring drugs into the state with the intention of selling it, not only can one face state penalties but federal as well.
These are the penalties for drug transportation of controlled substances:
First offense:
- 5 to 40 years’ incarceration, at least 3 years mandatory
- Fine of no more than $1, 000, 000
Second offense:
Minimum of 10 years’ incarceration, and must be served consecutively with any additional sentences
Also, as part of sentencing, the judge may also order drug rehabilitation or participate in counseling. If one has a previous record of drug crime convictions, the penalties may be enhanced.

I hired Mr. Miller initially for a bond hearing . I decided to retain his services for the case itself . I was facing two felony charges as well as a failure to appear charge . While there were witnesses that were able to identify me, I walked out of Virginia Beach Courthouse with only a misdemeanor thanks to Mr. Miller's representation . I work in the healthcare profession and expressed to Mr. Miller the importance of avoiding a felony charge and he made it happen. I am forever grateful and will highly recommend him . Mr. Miller will always represent myself as well as family members if need be in the future . Again thank you Mr. Miller for using your knowledge to keep me from being a convicted felon and also saving my career.- C. Dickens
