Drug Possession Bail Bonds in Burlington NC

Drug Possession Bail Bonds in Burlington

Our drug possession bail bond services in Burlington and throughout Alamance County help you get your loved one released and back home while the case moves forward.

Under G.S. 90-95, the type and amount of drug decide whether the charge is a misdemeanor or felony, which shapes the bond. Most cases fall into one of three groups:

1. Marijuana up to 1.5 ounces: A misdemeanor, often handled with a citation or a lower bond.
2. Smaller amounts of most prescription pills: Usually a misdemeanor unless the quantity crosses set limits.
3. Cocaine, methamphetamine, heroin, or fentanyl: A felony regardless of amount. Fentanyl possession became a Class H felony in December 2025, and felony charges typically mean a higher bond.

Evidence of intent to distribute, like scales, baggies, or cash, can add charges and push the bond higher. A prior record matters too: under Iryna’s Law, three or more qualifying convictions in the past 10 years rules out an unsecured bond.

How Drug Possession Bail Bonds Work

• Arrest and booking happen first: After a drug arrest in Burlington, your loved one is taken to the Alamance County Detention Center in Graham, where booking is completed and a magistrate sets bond.
• Confirm the details before calling: Have their full name, booking number if available, and the bond amount. If you’re missing something, call anyway and we’ll help you track it down.
• You call Around The Clock Bail Bonds: We answer 24/7, explain your options in plain terms, and start the paperwork right away.
• The bond is posted: We can meet you at the detention center, finalize the paperwork, and submit the bond.
• Release follows: Timing depends on staffing and booking volume, but we stay in contact throughout so you’re never left guessing.
