About Drug Trafficking Charges
A drug trafficking charge generally involves transporting or selling controlled substances. The exact charge, and whether it is treated as a misdemeanor or a felony, varies with the facts and is decided by prosecutors and the court. These charges are serious and amounts can be high.
After a Drug Trafficking Arrest in Murrieta
Arrests in Murrieta are made by Murrieta Police Department. Depending on the charge and the agency, a person may be held at Southwest Detention Center or Robert Presley Detention Center. Criminal cases from the area are heard at Southwest Justice Center (Murrieta Courthouse) and Riverside Hall of Justice. For a drug trafficking charge the first step is to get the inmate booking number and confirm the bail amount with the facility.
How Bail Is Set for Drug Trafficking Charges
