Criminal charges can change a person’s life. One minute an individual may feel that his or her life is going normally, and the next minute may feel as if everything is spiraling out of control. When it comes to facing drug charges, it may be helpful to rein in those feelings as best as possible and move forward logically.

One Tennessee man may be exploring the logical ways in which he can address criminal allegations recently brought against him. Reports indicated that authorities conducted a search of a residence and allegedly discovered marijuana and drug paraphernalia that they consider associated with selling and using the substance. It was not mentioned in the report what caused authorities to search the home.

As a result of the search, a 21-year-old man was taken into custody. He is currently facing charges for possession of a Schedule IV substance with intent to sell and possession of unlawful drug paraphernalia. It was noted that a 17-year-old man is facing a charge for simple possession of marijuana. Additional information on the incident was not given in the report.

The man accused in this Tennessee case undoubtedly knows that the drug charges brought against him could change his life. Still, he does not have to feel without hope because he does have the right to defend against the allegations in court. He may feel uncertain about how to best defend himself, but he has the ability to gain information and help with his case if he wishes to do so.
