Arizona Repeat Offender Laws: How Prior Convictions Increase Penalties
When someone is charged with a felony offense in Arizona, the sentence they face depends not only on the crime itself but also on their criminal history. If a person has a prior conviction, the penalties increase dramatically under Arizona’s repeat offender laws. The state has some of the toughest sentencing laws in the country, and being labeled a repetitive offender pursuant to subsection rules under Arizona Revised Statutes § 13-703 can add years or even decades to a sentence.
Leaving the Scene of an Accident: Hit and Run Penalties in Arizona
Leaving the scene of an accident, also called a hit and run, is one of the more serious traffic offenses in Arizona. While some drivers panic and make a poor decision, Arizona law treats this crime harshly because it puts other people’s lives at risk. What begins as a minor fender bender or accident in Arizona can quickly turn into a felony charge if the driver chooses to flee.
Penalties for Drug Trafficking Fentanyl in Arizona
In recent years, fentanyl trafficking has emerged as one of the most aggressively prosecuted crimes in Arizona. Fentanyl is a synthetic opioid so potent that just a few milligrams can be deadly. As a result, law enforcement agencies across the state of Arizona — often working with the Drug Enforcement Administration and the Organized Crime Drug Enforcement Task Forces — are targeting anyone accused of trafficking and drug sales involving fentanyl.
Understanding Drug Trafficking and Intent to Sell Charges in Arizona
Drug charges in Arizona can carry life-altering consequences, especially when they involve serious offenses like drug trafficking or possession with intent to sell. Arizona law imposes harsh penalties for these crimes, and the legal distinctions between them can significantly affect the outcome of a case.
How Drug Convictions Affect College Financial Aid in Arizona
Until recently, students with a drug conviction could lose access to federal student aid entirely. Under the old version of the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA), students had to answer questions about prior drug convictions, and a “yes” response could result in aid being denied or delayed.
However, this changed with the FAFSA Simplification Act, which was part of the Consolidated Appropriations Act of 2021. As of July 1, 2023, questions about drug convictions have been removed from the FAFSA form altogether.
