Charged with 3 counts of obtaining a rx fraudulently in GA

What is the name of your state?Georgia

I am charged with 3 counts of obtaining a rx fraudulently. I have never been in any trouble, hence I am a 1st time offender. What am I looking at in terms of a sentence? I am in the process of turning myself in. I know I should consult a lawyer first, but i just wanted to know what the norm is for my state as far as these charges are concerned. I also found out today that one of the charges has not had a bond set. If the 3 charges are for the same offense, shouldn't it be the same bond as the other two? Or could it be lots higher? Please help with this!!!

Here is your penal code statutes:

Art. 185. Fraud

shall be punished by a penalty equal to from one hundred to three hundred and sixty times the daily salary or by socially beneficial labor for from one hundred and sixty to two hundred hours, or by the correctional work for a period from one to two years or by imprisonment for a period up to three months or by the deprivation of liberty for a period up to three years.
2. The same action:
1. committed deliberately by a group of individuals;
2. that inflicted substantial damage;
3. committed repeatedly;
4. committed by abuse of authority;
shall be punished by a penalty equal to from one hundred and fifty to three hundred times the daily salary, or by the deprivation of liberty for a period from two to six years.
3. Fraud

2. committed by a person who had been convicted for crimes stipulated by articles 182-187 of this code for two or more times
shall be punished by the deprivation of liberty for a period from five to ten years.

Art. 278. Unlawful appropriation or extortion of narcotics, analogous substances, precursors and psychotropic substances

1. Unlawful appropriation or extortion of narcotics, analogous substances, precursors and psychotropic substances shall be punished by the deprivation of liberty for a period of from five to ten years.

2. committed repeatedly;

shall be punished by the deprivation of liberty for a period of from eight to twenty years.

Note: The term "unlawful appropriation" used in this Article implies the secret, open or fraudulent seizure of narcotics, analogous substances, precursors or psychotropic substances mentioned above, and also their seizure.


Not sure if one or both these statutes pertain to your case, you should recieve a list of formal charges. Well, you can see from this what you might be looking at.
