Legal Question in DUI Law in North Dakota

Re: Underage Drinking Probation Revocation Question

It sounds like your probation in the North Dakota court is conditioned upon no underage drinking violations. If so, then getting another underage drinking violation would violate a condition of your probation, even if the new offense happened outside of North Dakota. It is possible the North Dakota court might not find out about it though. Whether the North Dakota court were to make you serve jail time in the event of a probation violation would be up the court's discretion.

I am not a North Dakota lawyer, so you may want to ask this of a North Dakota lawyer. I cannot answer questions about North Dakota law with certainty, since I am a Minnesota lawyer. Still, I would be surprised if the answer I've suggested would be different in the two states.

Naturally, your best plan would be to avoid getting charged with underage drinking again -- anywhere (comply with the condition of probation). Be aware of the date your probation will expire.

Re: Underage Drinking Sentence Question

Yes, but only if it is reported to the court in North Dakota. In my opinion, whether that would happen is somewhat questionable. I have noted that the states in this neighborhood are sharing more information than they used to.
