Legal Question in Criminal Law in Pennsylvania

Disorderly conduct

I am 16 and i was at a party where there were marijuanna and alcohol. I recieved a citation for disorderly conduct. The citation says things that i did not do. Should I plea guilty or not guilty to diorderly conduct. The officers could have charged us with underage. If i plea not guilty to disorderly conduct can they still change the charge? No breathalizers were taken but alcohol and marijuanna were found.

Your scenerio is typical. You have to weigh fighting the citation and winning and then having them file the proper citation and losing which includes a drives license suspension. The facts given are not enough for me to make a decision.

If you did not commit the crime charged then you cannot truthfully plead guilty. As to the possibility of additional charges, I need more information to properly advise you. Please feel free to contact me.
