Serving Minors Alcohol at Party

[apieceofwork]

My question involves criminal law for the state of: Arizona

I supplied alcohol to a dozen kids ages 15-18 at my home for a party. All kids stayed the night and did not drive. One parent found out and told the police. I don't know yet what is going to happen to me. Will all parents be notified. Could I be charged for each seperate minor I served alcohol to? Could I go to jail? I'm scared to death right now not knowing what will or could happen to me. Can anyone shed some light on my circumstances?

Not sure why that's relevent. It doesn't diminish the crime.

Potentially, yep. Each child could be called as a witness.

Could I be charged for each seperate minor I served alcohol to?

Yes, you could.

Could I go to jail?

Yes, you could.

I'm scared to death right now not knowing what will or could happen to me.

The fear of consequences is what is supposed to KEEP you from doing this stuff. Jail is possible. Fines are possible. Spending time at the emergency room or the morgue watching the aftermath of teens and alcohol is possible. Classes of various types are possible. Some combination of these is possible. It really depends on how you plead (guilty or not), the outcome if it goes to trial, and the creativity of the judge.

Can anyone shed some light on my circumstances?

You need an attorney.
