Understanding Drug Crimes in Plymouth
Minnesota criminal law applies statewide, but the court process, local agency records, and practical details of a case depend on where it is filed. The information below explains important issues Andrew reviews when defending drug crimes cases.
Charged With a Drug Crime in Minnesota?
Drug arrests are intimidating. You may feel like the system has already decided your fate the moment the handcuffs went on. At Davis Defense, we see the bigger picture how the arrest happened, what the police actually found, whether procedures were followed, and how a conviction would affect your life. Our goal is to put you back in control by giving you clear information, a realistic view of the case, and a strategy tailored to your situation.
Types of Drug Charges We Handle
Any illegal activity involving a controlled substance can lead to criminal charges in Minnesota. We defend clients in state and local courts on charges involving:
- Simple possession of controlled substances
- Possession with intent to sell or deliver
- Sale, distribution, or trafficking of drugs
- Manufacturing or cultivation offenses
- Conspiracy to commit a drug crime
- Drug paraphernalia charges
- Marijuana and THC-related offenses
- Cocaine, heroin, methamphetamine, and other street drugs
- Synthetic drugs such as K2, Spice, or bath salts
- Prescription medications, including painkillers like oxycodone or similar drugs
Possession vs. Sale: Why the Difference Matters
Possession and sale are different allegations, and the surrounding facts can change how a case is evaluated. Andrew looks at the quantity involved, where the drugs were found, who had access to the area, what statements were made, and what evidence the state claims shows an intent to sell. Those details can matter when deciding how to challenge the charge and what evidence needs to be preserved.

Common questions
Plymouth Drug Crimes FAQ
What types of drug charges does Davis Defense handle?
We handle the full range of Minnesota drug crimes, including possession, possession with intent to sell or deliver, sale and distribution, manufacturing, trafficking, conspiracy, paraphernalia charges, and prescription drug offenses involving painkillers or other controlled substances.
What are the possible penalties for a drug conviction?
Penalties depend on the degree of the offense, the type and amount of the drug, whether there was an alleged intent to sell, and your prior record. A low-level possession case may carry the possibility of diversion or probation, while higher-degree controlled substance crimes can involve years in prison, heavy fines, forfeiture of property, and a permanent felony record.
Can a drug conviction affect my job, housing, or education?
Yes. A drug conviction can make it harder to find employment, qualify for housing, or receive student financial aid. It may also affect professional licenses. That’s why it’s critical to work with a lawyer focused not just on the criminal case, but on protecting your long-term future.
What if the police searched my car or home can that be challenged?
Often. Many drug cases turn on whether the police had a lawful reason to stop your vehicle, enter your home, or search your belongings. If your rights were violated, Andrew may be able to challenge the search and move to suppress illegally obtained evidence.
Do I need a lawyer if I think I’m guilty?
Yes. Even if you believe you made a mistake, there may be legal defenses, weaknesses in the evidence, or alternative resolutions such as treatment-focused programs or reduced charges. An experienced drug crime lawyer can often improve the outcome significantly.
