Legal Question in DUI Law in Maine

Foreign minor in possession of alcohol

My friend is a UK citizen, working for the summer at a camp in Maine. He just turned 21 yesterday but was issued with a minor in possession or a drunk in public ticket (he was unclear) a few weeks ago when he was 20. The officer only wrote his full name and the first 2 lines of his address on the ticket (not the country or the UK county, just the street number & name and village). If he fails to pay this ticket, will there be an issue the next time he tries to enter the US?

Thanks for all your help!

Re: Foreign minor in possession of alcohol

If it is a criminal infraction, then yes, there may be an issue. I suggest that he gets legal representation. Community service is a typical arrangement, after which the charges are dismissed. Good luck!
