    Default Prison term for felony drug possession

    My father was just arrested in Delaware County (Ohio) for first degree felony drug possession of crack cocaine. What is the average prision term? Could there ever be probation on this charge or house arrest? I am not familiar with the criminal system. I'm not sure what amount of drugs he had on him.

    Default Re: Prison term for felony drug possession

    His probable sentence will depend upon factors including his prior criminal history and the quantity of drugs in his possession. If he has prior felony or drug charges he could be subject to habitualization, which could significantly increase the potential sentence. The picture is further clouded by the recent determination by the Ohio Supreme Court that the state sentencing guidelines are unconstitutional; I'm not sure if there has been progress in creating new guidelines. If he is represented by a lawyer, his lawyer may be able to estimate a probable sentence.
