Illegal use and sales of prescription drugs are far from new issues, but they have been on the rise in Illinois and across the nation in recent years. Cracking down on people with painkillers, sedatives, anxiety drugs, medications meant to treat attention deficit disorder (ADD) and other such substances has become a priority for law enforcement authorities.
Arrested for Ritalin, OxyContin or Some Other Controlled Medication?
Being caught with just a few pills can lead to felony charge and jail time under many circumstances. If a federal agency sting by the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) or other authorities led to your arrest — or a loved one's — for an offense such as prescription drug trafficking, the situation is extremely serious.
