Legal Question in Traffic Law in Virginia

Underage Consumption Out of State

I was cited for Underage Consumption in the state of West Virginia (11-16-19a) and was wondering how that would affect me if I just paid the fine being that I am from the state of Virginia?

Re: Underage Consumption Out of State

Likely depends upon how the offense is classified under West Virginia law. If it's a misdemeanor (crime), it could have adverse consequences for your future, and you would be well advised to attempt to get some type of deferred disposition in return for your attendance at a substance abuse education program and, perhaps, the performance of some community service (which if successfully completed, could leave you without a record of conviction for this particular charge).
