CEDAR CITY I-15 DRUG CHARGES DEFENSE LAWYER
Have you been charged on I-15 in Utah with drug possession? Meth and Heroin are both Class A Misdemeanors in Utah. Marijuana as of 03/2023 is still illegal unless you have a medical marijuana card. Simple marijuana possession is a Class B Misdemeanor and like most Utah drug offenses, it is an enhanceable offense.
Cedar City criminal defense attorney Jake Gunter can review the dash camera and body camera footage from the Utah Highway Patrolman who stopped your car on I-15. We get the police report to you and help defend any joint or constructive possession drug charges.

Cedar City is home to Southern Utah University. Don’t let drug or alcohol convictions while attending college cause problems with your future.

A clean, expunged Utah criminal record matters.
