Unlawful Possession of a Controlled Substance in Michigan

In Michigan, being caught with illegal drugs can lead to serious consequences. The state has strict laws on drug possession, and unlawful possession of a controlled substance is one of the most common charges.

Here, we’ll break down what the law says, the punishments, and possible defenses.

#1 Step to take – Invoke your 5th amendment right and ask for a lawyer. No matter what the police say or what they promise you!!

What Is Unlawful Possession of a Controlled Substance?

Under Michigan law, possession of a controlled substance means having drugs or narcotics that are illegal without a valid prescription. These substances can include illegal street drugs like heroin, meth, cocaine, or even prescription drugs like Oxycodone or Xanax if you don’t have a prescription.

Michigan categorizes controlled substances into different “schedules” based on how dangerous or addictive they are. The more dangerous the drug, the harsher the penalties. For example, Schedule I drugs, like heroin, are seen as highly addictive and have no accepted medical use, while Schedule II drugs, like certain pain medications, can be prescribed by a doctor but still carry serious penalties if abused.

The law governing unlawful possession of controlled substances can be found in MCL 333.7403. This section outlines which substances are illegal and what happens if you’re found in possession of them.

Penalties for Unlawful Possession

The punishment for possessing a controlled substance depends on several factors:

What drug you had, how much you had, and your prior criminal record.

Schedule I or II Narcotics (like heroin or cocaine): If caught with less than 25 grams, you could face up to 4 years in prison and/or fines of up to $25,000.
25 to 50 grams: Up to 4 years in prison and a fine up to $25,000.
50 to 450 grams: Up to 20 years in prison and a fine up to $250,000.
More than 1,000 grams: Life in prison and a fine of $1,000,000.

For Schedule III or IV drugs (like prescription medications without a prescription), you may face up to 2 years in prison and/or fines up to $2,000.

You can find the penalties for different types of drugs under MCL 333.7401.

Possible Legal Defenses

If you’re charged with unlawful possession, there are legal defenses that could help your case. Some of the most common include:

Lack of Possession: You may argue that the drugs weren’t yours or that you didn’t have control over the drugs.
Illegal Search and Seizure: If the police conducted an unlawful search of your property (for example, searching your home without a valid warrant), evidence collected during that search could be thrown out.
Medical Necessity: If you had the drugs for a legitimate medical purpose but didn’t have the prescription with you, that could be a defense.
Entrapment: If you were tricked or pressured into possessing the drugs by law enforcement, you may have an entrapment defense.

Obstruction Laws in Michigan

Sep 17, 2024 | Michigan Laws, Resisting and Obstructing

Move along or you’ll be arrested for Obstruction of “Justice”.

In Michigan, obstruction is a crime that involves interfering with law enforcement or other officials when they are trying to carry out their duties.

Obstruction can cover a wide range of actions, including lying to the police, physically interfering with an officer’s job, or helping someone else avoid arrest. Michigan law takes obstruction seriously, and it can lead to felony charges with significant penalties.

What Is Obstruction?

Under Michigan Compiled Law (MCL) 750.81d, obstruction is defined as any action that resists, opposes, or interferes with a police officer, firefighter, paramedic, or other emergency responder while they are performing their duties. This can include:

Physically stopping an officer from making an arrest
Giving false information to the police
Refusing to follow lawful commands
Tampering with evidence or hiding it from the police

The key part of the law is that obstruction makes it harder for officials to do their jobs safely and effectively. Even if you don’t touch the officer, simply not following orders or making their job more difficult can still be considered obstruction.

750.81d Assaulting, battering, resisting, obstructing, opposing person performing duty; felony; penalty; other violations; consecutive terms; definitions.

Sec. 81d.

(1) Except as provided in subsections (2), (3), and (4), an individual who assaults, batters, wounds, resists, obstructs, opposes, or endangers a person who the individual knows or has reason to know is performing his or her duties is guilty of a felony punishable by imprisonment for not more than 2 years or a fine of not more than $2,000.00, or both.

(2) An individual who assaults, batters, wounds, resists, obstructs, opposes, or endangers a person who the individual knows or has reason to know is performing his or her duties causing a bodily injury requiring medical attention or medical care to that person is guilty of a felony punishable by imprisonment for not more than 4 years or a fine of not more than $5,000.00, or both.

(3) An individual who assaults, batters, wounds, resists, obstructs, opposes, or endangers a person who the individual knows or has reason to know is performing his or her duties causing a serious impairment of a body function of that person is guilty of a felony punishable by imprisonment for not more than 15 years or a fine of not more than $10,000.00, or both.

(4) An individual who assaults, batters, wounds, resists, obstructs, opposes, or endangers a person who the individual knows or has reason to know is performing his or her duties causing the death of that person is guilty of a felony punishable by imprisonment for not more than 20 years or a fine of not more than $20,000.00, or both.

(5) This section does not prohibit an individual from being charged with, convicted of, or punished for any other violation of law that is committed by that individual while violating this section.

(6) A term of imprisonment imposed for a violation of this section may run consecutively to any term of imprisonment imposed for another violation arising from the same transaction.

(7) As used in this section:

(a) “Obstruct” includes the use or threatened use of physical interference or force or a knowing failure to comply with a lawful command.

(b) “Person” means any of the following:

(i) A police officer of this state or of a political subdivision of this state including, but not limited to, a motor carrier officer or capitol security officer of the department of state police.

(ii) A police officer of a junior college, college, or university who is authorized by the governing board of that junior college, college, or university to enforce state law and the rules and ordinances of that junior college, college, or university.

Resisting and Obstructing Officers

Michigan law, specifically Michigan Compiled Law (MCL) 750.81d, makes it a crime to obstruct, resist, or assault a police officer while they are carrying out their duties.

This law applies not only to police officers but also to firefighters, emergency medical personnel, and other authorized officials.

Resisting involves refusing to comply with lawful orders, such as resisting an arrest.

Obstruction, on the other hand, refers to actions that make it difficult or impossible for an officer to perform their duties, like lying to police, refusing to move when asked, or hiding evidence.

If you are found guilty of resisting or obstructing, you can face a felony charge. The penalties for this crime depend on the circumstances:

Basic offense: If there is no injury to the officer, the crime is punishable by up to 2 years in prison and/or a fine of up to $2,000.
Injury to an officer: If the officer is injured during the act of resisting or obstructing, the penalty increases to a maximum of 4 years in prison and/or a fine of up to $5,000.
Serious injury to an officer: If the officer suffers a serious bodily injury, the punishment increases to 15 years in prison and/or a fine of up to $10,000.
Death of an officer: If the officer dies as a result of the obstruction or resistance, the offender can face up to 20 years in prison and/or a fine of up to $20,000.

Passive vs. Active Resistance

There is a distinction between passive resistance and active resistance. Passive resistance is often seen in peaceful protests, where someone might sit or stand in a location without fighting back. While still illegal, passive resistance typically results in lower penalties than active resistance, which involves physical struggle or fleeing from an officer.

Catch All

Michigan law also has a catch all law MCL 750.505.

750.505 Punishment for indictable common law offenses.

Sec. 505.

Any person who shall commit any indictable offense at the common law, for the punishment of which no provision is expressly made by any statute of this state, shall be guilty of a felony, punishable by imprisonment in the state prison not more than 5 years or by a fine of not more than $10,000.00, or both in the discretion of the court.

Conclusion

Resisting arrest and obstructing officers in Michigan whether the resistance is passive or active, it is important to understand that interfering with law enforcement can lead to felony charges and significant penalties.
