Drug charges can be brought by both the federal government and the Wisconsin state government, or by either one for the same drug crime.
Two Drug Charges - Double Jeopardy
Double jeopardy protects a person from being tried twice for the same crime by the same government. In situations where both the federal government and the state of Wisconsin government are charging the same person for the same crime, double jeopardy does not apply. Double jeopardy only applies to one government, and then only to the exact same charge.
