What to do if you are arrested for a drug crime

At The Daugherty Law Firm, we work hard to help you understand the law and successfully defend you against criminal charges. But you must also know what to do after police take you into custody.

Below are some valuable tips on what to do if you arrested for a drug crime:

  • Remain calm: Too many people accused of drug crimes damage their case because they do not remain calm after an arrest. It is important, for the sake of your case, that you do not exhibit disruptive or disrespectful behavior in front of law enforcement officials. It is in your best interests to remain calm and be polite to police at all times.
  • Request a lawyer: Next, you must ask for an attorney. It is your right to hire a lawyer. If you cannot afford an attorney, one will be provided for you. Furthermore, the moment you ask for an attorney, all police questioning must cease. You are not required to hire a lawyer. However, battling drug charges without one is extremely difficult.
  • Remain silent: You also have the right to remain silent and you should invoke this right. Avoid talking to police or divulging any details regarding your arrest until your lawyer arrives.
  • Tell your attorney everything: Your Manassas criminal defense attorney is your ally. As a result, it is important to never lie to your lawyer. In order to build a solid defense, your attorney must have all the facts about your arrest.
