Re: possesion of alcohol as a minor

The penalties vary.

I would need to know more to give any real advice.

First, is this juvenile or adult court?

Also, does the defendant/child have any prior arrest record?

However, generally speaking the person is looking at anywhere from a warning to a term of probation. Also, there are could be associated court costs and fines.

the person may be eligable for a diversion program which would result in the state dismissing charges.

Feel free to give me a ring if you would like to tell me more about the case and I could give more specific advice.

Best of luck,
