Legal Question in Criminal Law in Virginia
Minor in Possession of Alcohol
I was at a party with underage
drinking, quite a few of them being
under 18. I'am 18 and blew a .005 i
believe and got charged with minor in
possesion. Before I took the
breathalyzer he asked if I had been
drinking. I said no. I assumed that
when I took all those D.A.R.E. classes
on drug prevention that the info was
correct. They explained .02 is the
legal limit for anyone under 21.
What should I do?

Re: Minor in Possession of Alcohol
Minor in possession under Va. Code Sec. 4.1-305 is a class 1 misdemeanor offense and, therefore, if at all possible you should have an attorney represent you who should be able to arrange for a deferred disposition of this matter (if you have no prior criminal convictions and are able to complete probation successfully).
