What Is Simultaneous Possession of Drugs and Firearms?
In Arkansas, simultaneous possession of drugs and firearms is a charge that applies when an individual unlawfully commits, attempts, solicits, or conspires to commit a felony drug offense while also possessing a firearm or any other implement or weapon that could be used to inflict serious physical injury or death.
This offense is classified as a Class Y felony, which is the most severe felony classification in the state, indicating the seriousness with which Arkansas law views this combination of crimes. Notably, this charge does not apply to misdemeanor drug offenses, but given that most drug crimes in Arkansas are felonies, it has broad applicability. A defense to this charge can be made if the defendant was in their home, and the firearm or weapon was not readily accessible for use.
