Possession of less than 25 grams of Cocaine carries a maximum penalty of 4 years in prison. Thus the range of possible sentences are probation to 4 years in prison. But without knowing the Defendant's prior criminal history and other specifics, the Michigan Sentencing Guidelines take into account, it is impossible to speculate what the probable sentence will be.
