Charleston Criminal Defense Lawyer will Be needed
A Dorchester couple will be in need of a Criminal defense lawyer in Charleston after a meth lab bust. The arrest comes after DSS workers were sent to the defendant's home to check the status of children in the home. A search warrant was acquired and according to the Post and Courier there was a considerable amount of manufactured meth recovered. The couple could face a federal indictment if the amount of meth reaches a point that the government feels was substantial. The problem with many meth lab cases in South Carolina is the fact that there is usually very little meth recovered and most of the people manufacturing the drug are doing so primarily for personal use. Many times the U.S. Attorney indicts the case because there are multiple counties involved and possible jurisdictional problems with the local solicitors office.
In this case, it appears the county and/or state investigated the scene and most likely the state will prosecute and not the feds. A good Charleston defense lawyer can help this couple with these charges. They will have a bond set at some point this week and depending on their prior record, they could be out of jail this week. If they cannot afford to hire an attorney in Charleston or Dorchester, one of them will be appointed a public defender.
