Re: MIC, MIP, and Possession

All three charges might be Class C (the possession is probably a Class C -- but depending upon the actual charge, could be a Class B).

They need to be handled by an attorney -- as a conviction for one, will enhance the punishment for the others, and deferred adjudication is considered a conviction for punishment purposes.

Youare also at risk of losing your driver's license.

Also, although you are cited to appear in Municipal Court, the charges arose while you were still a juvenile.
