Can I be charged and arrested for this?

miss kitty

i think a better question is:
"if i sell my friends bags of sugar, will they kick my butt and put me in the hospital"?

Runescape Help

Uh, no, why would your friends need little packets of sugar anyways?

~Big Benz~

lmao im practically laughing on the floor! bags of sugar??thats so funny you have to go to an ally to sell sugar

Koi Fish

....is sugar a slang term for something else or are your friends addicted to splenda?

Sandra B

Might charge you with mischief or loitering.

Munya Says: DUH!

Yes, actually---I'm sure they could prove your "intent to deliver" because you're in the alley and all that.. and, of course, "bags of sugar" would be labeled a look-alike substance.
And the prosecuting attorney would seal the deal with "Why would anyone sell sugar in baggies in the ALLEY, when there is a QUIK-E MART on EVERY CORNER where sugar is readily available??"

you are toast my friend. TOAST!!

rogueriverbob

don't know if the Cops will arrested you,.....but your friends might come back and kick your @$$,.....

MiMi Sugar

Duh are you asking for trouble! How would cops know what you were selling and why waste your time and theres. Then again somebody wanting drugs could beat the ==== out of you for your stupidity!!!!

honeykbee

Arrested? Yes. Charged? No.

DEPENDS UNDER WHAT PRETENSE YOU ARE SELLING THOSE LITTLE BAGS UNDER

AnswerManDan

yes, selling a mock substance is just as illegal if not more illegal than selling real drugs.

Catwoman

Probably not unless you are charge with "obstruction of justice" after all you would be obstructing justice by wasting his/her time which would be better spent solving real crimes and apprehending real criminals.

Citicop

In Missouri, it is a crime to possess or sell an "Imitation Controlled Substance."

So, yes... you could be both arrested and charged.

z3b3rd33

lol, yes.

Listen when they arrest you:
'under suspision of..'

I screwed CID over one day... as they where leaving I entered me kitchen, using salt, sugar flour and xxxxx I made a lil baggie of something that looked like it wasn't. Left it on me kawphee table.
Few days later, CID thru me door... What this then? ur nicked.
I spent lil time in cell, couldn't sue em for wrongfull arrest. And they never figured owt exactly what was in there...

nevadog

I am pretty sure he could arrest you and charge you, however you probably would not be convicted of the charges. You may be convicted of something else like attempting to hinder counter drug operations or some such thing.

neanderthal

yes if you don't have a peddler's license from the city and i doubt they would give you one it's food

Luckey Haskins

I think you need to ask the question, What am I going to get in return for scamming the cops.. I have been there and done that and they will mess with you bad if you take them for fools.. Plus, they will arrest you and make you wait till they can find a kit or lab to test the "sugar" This may take some time for them as im sure they are going to drag thier feet! Good luck on that one!

L Mae

Yes you can be arrested for selling a substance that is set up to look like drugs. If you got a good lawyer you could probably get off, but you will still have gotten arrested.

wtf

raymondsciara

Yes. selling placebo(sugar,oregano,drywall compound,etc.)is considered attempt to sell and traffickking. In the end,you could be convicted on three counts. The technical names for the charges fail me,but i know it has to do with posesion of paraphernalia and dealing fake drugs,on top of you sale and trafficking charge. You should think hard before you try to pass bayer pills for X. The least I worry about is jail. I'd be more concerned by the junkies kicking my butt over fake blow.

pinkpenguin_777

Yes, he can arrest you for aiding the crime. Something along those terms.. Or - knowing, and doing nothing to stop it.

Alex

So many answers to this question, and so many are wrong. Yes, you can be arrested and charged. You are attempting to pass the sugar off as a controlled substance, which would make it sale of a counterfeit CS.

Wanderer

They could arrest you and then the lab would take 2 days to get the results of the chemical test back to them. (This happened to someone crossing the border with a bag of baking soda one time).

It's your time so if you want to spend it in a cell I guess that is your choice :)

Historybuff93

perhaps, its proboble causes but i dont think u would get into a lot of troble if its only sugar

20pk kid!!!

006

yes, you can get arrested for selling coke...

Just me.

They usually have to test to see if it is a drug, in order to charge you with something .

Kevin C

You can be arrested for suspicion of selling an illegal narcotic. I would advise against this because if a cop sees you and they don't have a field test kit ready you will go to jail, and you won't get your bail money back.

The charges would be dropped or at least reduced to a non-drug related offense, but why risk it?

big s

they will charge you with intent

Teri

no beacuse they test the subsatance to see what it is

colette

Yes, I forgot what it's called, but this guy got arrested on Cops because he was pretending to sell and it was packaged in the same manner as drugs. It is an actual crime, plus you could probably get hurt by real criminals who think you're on their turf or by angry customers who come back for vengeance.
