Criminal Offenses Under Wyoming Law
Wyoming’s criminal statutes provide a framework for regulating criminal offenses in the state. These statutes aim to maintain public safety, protect individual rights, and ensure justice is administered fairly. Examples of crimes under Wyoming law include:
- DUI (driving under the influence): DUI involves operating a vehicle while impaired by alcohol or drugs, leading to strict legal consequences.
- Drug crimes: Drug crimes encompass offenses related to illegal drugs, their possession, distribution, or trafficking, resulting in severe penalties.
- Violent crimes: Violent crimes involve acts of physical harm or the threat of violence, leading to charges like assault, robbery, or homicide.
- Sex crimes: Sex crimes encompass a range of offenses involving non-consensual sexual acts or misconduct with severe legal implications.
- Theft crimes: Theft crimes involve unlawfully taking another’s property, with charges ranging from petty theft to grand larceny.
- White-collar crimes: White-collar crimes are non-violent offenses typically committed for financial gain, such as fraud, embezzlement, or insider trading.
Criminal Charges and Penalties
The penalties for criminal charges in Wyoming can range from minor to severe, depending on the classification of the crime:
- Felonies: Felonies are the most serious offenses under the law, and they carry substantial penalties. Convictions for felonies can result in lengthy periods of incarceration, often in state prisons. In addition to incarceration, individuals may face significant fines, probation, and community service requirements as part of their sentence.
- Misdemeanors: Misdemeanors are generally less severe than felonies but still come with consequences. Those convicted of misdemeanors may receive lighter sentences, typically involving shorter jail or probation terms. Fines can be significant, and community service may also be required to address the offense’s consequences.
- Traffic offenses: These offenses may lead to fines, and in some cases, individuals may face the suspension of their driver’s licenses, which can have practical implications on daily life.
The Role of Your Campbell County Criminal Defense Attorney
You shouldn’t face your criminal charges alone. It’s best to have a skilled criminal defense lawyer on your side. Your attorney plays a pivotal role in your case, which involves:
- Investigating the facts: Our experienced legal team conducts exhaustive investigations to gather crucial evidence, including witness statements and surveillance footage.
- Challenging evidence: We leave no stone unturned when it comes to challenging evidence that may be used against you.
- Negotiating with prosecutors: Skillful negotiation with prosecutors is a cornerstone of our approach to secure the best possible outcome for our clients.
In addition to these key elements, we employ a range of common defense tactics, such as filing motions to suppress evidence, raising legal defenses, and presenting alternative theories of the case.

The U.S. Constitution affords certain rights and protections to individuals accused of crimes, including:
- Right to remain silent (Fifth Amendment)
- Right to legal counsel (Sixth Amendment)
- Right to a fair and impartial trial (Sixth Amendment)
- Right to due process (Fifth and Fourteenth Amendments)
- Right to be informed of charges (Sixth Amendment)
- Protection against double jeopardy (Fifth Amendment)
- Right to a speedy trial (Sixth Amendment)
