Re: buying beer minors

Well, you certainly are in trouble. Your potential exposure to fines and jail time depends upon a number of factors, including the age and number of minors, your prior record, and the totality of the circumstances.

You would be well advised to contact a criminal lawyer in your county who is knowledgeable concerning the way the local prosecutors and District Court deal with cases of this type. Some courts use a "deferred prosecution" program for misdemeanor first offenders: you could be released on "good behavior" for 6 months or a year, after which (assuming no further arrests) the charges would be dismissed.
