Florida Drug Delivery & Distribution Law
Under Florida law, it is illegal to deliver drugs. Not only is it a crime to deliver and/or distribute such drugs as cocaine, heroin, Ecstasy, marijuana, and meth, but it is also illegal to deliver pharmaceutical or prescription drugs, such as Vicodin, OxyContin, Xanax, Valium, etc.
In Florida, people can also face charges for drug distribution with intent to sell or deliver. This means you could be arrested even if you never actually sold, delivered, or distributed the drugs to the intended recipient. As long as the police have evidence that proves you had the intent to sell or deliver the drugs, you will be arrested. There are number of things police officers look for to establish intent, such as:
- Drug packaging supplies
- Scales
- Rolls of cash
- Beepers or pages
- A list of phone numbers (believed to be buyers)
