PCP Charges and Prior Convictions

California PCP charges are extremely serious, and there are a number of sentencing enhancements that can substantially increase your potential punishment. One possible sentencing enhancement that can be filed against you in a California PCP case is for prior convictions.

You can't be punished for any type of sentencing enhancement, including prior convictions, unless you're convicted of the underlying drug charges.

These are the possible sentencing enhancements that can be filed for prior convictions in a California PCP case:

Code Section	Enhancement	Punishment
11370.2.b	New 182.1, 11378.5, 11379.5, 11379.6, 11380.5 or 11383 with prior 11351, 11351.5, 11352, 11378, 11378.5, 11379, 11379.5, 11379.6, 11380, 11380.5 or 11383	Add three years for each prior conviction
PC 667.5b	For each prior prison commitment (unless after release the defendant remained free of both prison and felony convictions for five years)	Add one year
11366.5c	Prior 11366.5a with new 11366.5a	2-3-4

In addition to sentencing enhancements for priors, the prosecutor in a California PCP case can also file enhancements for weight, firearms, locations and minors.

A California PCP case with sentencing enhancements for prior convictions can result in years in prison, so it's critical to mount an aggressive defense to these charges.
