Understanding Drug Charges in South Carolina
Drug offenses can range from simple possession to more serious distribution type charges. The penalties often depend on:
- The type of substance
- The amount involved
- Prior criminal history
- The circumstances of the arrest
We handle cases involving:
- Marijuana possession
- Controlled substances (cocaine, heroin, methamphetamine, etc.)
- Prescription drug charges
- Possession with intent to distribute (PWID)
- Drug paraphernalia charges
In 2003, Peter Brown presented the case of State v. Williams to the South Carolina Court of Appeals. He successfully briefed the matter and persuaded the Court of Appeals to affirm the suppression and dismissal of the 25 pounds of marijuana found in his client’s suitcase.
This case is still cited for its legal analysis when questions concerning the constitutionality of searches and seizures arise in our courts, demonstrating that it remains good law and continues to be relevant today.
