Legal Question in Criminal Law in Michigan

m.i.p. INCLUDING open intox!

i was caught in east lansing walking with a cup in my hand. i dropped the cup and two cops saw and asked what was in the cup. they breathalyzed me and wrote me a citation for an MIP and open intox. this is my first offense so what should i expect? i had my arraignment already and my 2nd appearance date has already been set because the judge suggested i plead not guilty to the open intox charge since it's my first offense.

The open intox is an overcharge and, at your pretrial, can be bargained out. Even if you think you can do this yourself, DO NOT plead to both.

The MIP (a graduation requirement at MSU) can be taken care of so you won't have a record.

A lawyer will insure that this is done properly.
