Penalties for Drug Trafficking and Distribution

Penalties for engaging in drug trafficking and distribution in violation of Ohio law will vary depending on the grading of an offense and the presence of aggravating factors.

Aggravated drug trafficking constitutes a fourth-degree felony, which carries a penalty of six to 18 months of incarceration and fines up to $5,000. Committing aggravated drug trafficking in the vicinity of a school, juvenile, addiction services provider, or recovering addict constitutes a third-degree felony that carries penalties of nine months to five years in prison and fines up to $10,000.

Distributing or trafficking a quantity of drugs equal to or exceeding but less than five times the bulk amount also constitutes a third-degree felony that carries a presumption for imprisonment.

A second or subsequent conviction will result in a mandatory prison term.

Distributing bulk quantities of drugs in the vicinity of a school or addiction services provider constitutes a second-degree felony carrying penalties of two to eight years in prison and fines up to $15,000.
