Use of False Identification, in Maine

My question involves criminal law for the state of Maine: My 20 year old son informed me that while visiting Maine with his classmates he attempted to enter a bar with his friends and tried to gain access using another persons I.D. he was detained by the bouncers at the bar the police were called and he was issued a violation. He was told he was being charged with a class e crime and that he must present himself to the court on October 15th. He was completely cooperative with both the bar employees and the police. He is a college student in a neighboring sate and cannot make the court date.

What legal ramifications will this have for his future record and can this violation be dismissed easily?

The ramifications of getting charged with a criminal offense is that you end up with police and court records associated with the charge. If you're convicted, you also get a criminal conviction. Towns vary in their policies toward stuff like this, and some are very strict, so your son should consult a lawyer in the town or county where he's charged to find out what is likely to happen in that particular jurisdiction.

Do you have a citation for the statute he's charged with violating?
