Protect Your Rights: Defending Against Constructive Possession in Oklahoma
Have you been accused of possessing drugs and paraphernalia when you didn’t even know they were around you? My name is Carl Birkhead. I’m a criminal defense attorney in Tulsa, Oklahoma and I would like to help you navigate this process. A lot of times I have clients who are facing possession charges when they didn’t have drugs on them. Sometimes it’s my client was riding in a car with a friend and there were drugs in the back seat or you know staying at a friend’s house and there was some in the other room.
The state will try to arrest you and accuse you of having constructively possessed those you know that controlled dangerous substance whether or not you actually had it in your hand or even knew that it was there. Construction of possession is allowable in the state of Oklahoma for law enforcement for the state to file a charge on it if they can show that it was within your realm of access or control. It doesn’t necessarily need to be that you knew it was there but the question becomes could you have accessed it if you had known it was there? One example is was it locked in a safe or was it just in your buddy’s backpack by your feet? Things like that.
