Is it possible to charge two people with possession of one drug?

John E. DeVito
Answered by attorney John E. DeVito (Unclaimed Profile)
Criminal Law lawyer at John DeVito
Yes, two people can be charged; but, both may not be convicted. The police are claiming that the cocaine was possessed by both (joint possession). The Commonwealth must prove at trial that both parties intended to possess the cocaine. The fact that one person happened to be present when cocaine is found on another is not enough to establish joint possession. Carefully review the police report to see if there are any other facts which might suggest that the cocaine was jointly possessed.

It could be for a long time... depending upon how much jail time the judge suspended at the original sentencing. I would need to see the sentencing order.
