DRUG OFFENSES

 

Being charged with a drug offense in Las Vegas is a serious matter. The LVPD and other police agencies in Nevada have made it a top priority to crack down on drug-related crimes. There are entire divisions within these agencies whose sole purpose is to arrest and prosecute every individual involved in such, whether the offense is as minor as Possession of Marijuana or a more serious narcotic offense like Trafficking and Manufacturing.
