Simple Possession Charges in Beaufort

When Beaufort Police find illegal drugs, you can be charged with drug possession when police show probable cause that you had control over the drugs. Police can prove you had power to control the drugs in one of two ways. "Actual possession" is when illegal drugs are found in your actual physical custody. "Constructive possession" requires proof that you had control over the premises in which the drugs were found. For example, police find a small number of pills in your car and you are charged with possession.

Possession with Intent to Distribute (PWID) In Beaufort

In South Carolina, the charge of Possession with Intent to Distribute (PWID) is not only based on the amount of the drug a person is caught with. PWID can be charged if police determine that the intent to distribute is present. So what does that mean? In many cases, law enforcement makes this determination based on the presence of baggies, scales or other items indicating that drugs were meant for sale.
