Drug Laws in Michigan: Maintaining a Drug House or Drug Vehicle

Michigan Drug Crime Defense Lawyers

Anyone connected to a drug case could potentially be charged with Maintaining a Drug House or a Drug Vehicle under Michigan drug laws if the illegal activity took place on his or her property. State health code defines these as any building, vehicle, warehouse, boat or structure where illegal drug users frequent or where illegal substances are sold. If charged with maintaining a drug house or vehicle you could face serious punishment once convicted.

Build a Defense in Drug House/Drug Vehicle Charges

There have been recent attempts to change Michigan law to allow exceptions for drug house charges. As recently as December 2015, legislation was introduced to prohibit charges from being brought against someone who was housing the drugs for his or her personal use. Even though the bill was introduced it did not move forward, so there still is not a legal exception for personal use. Therefore, it is essential to have a skilled drug lawyer collecting evidence to combat the prosecution in your drug house case.
