Underage Consumption in Florida
My question involves criminal law for the state of: Florida
My daughter is on spring break at Panama City Beach. She just called to say she got a ticket for illegal possession. We life in Illinois. Will she have to go back for Florida to appear and what will the fine be?
Want to clearify... She got ticket for possession not consumption
Re: Underage Consumption in Florida
That's a misdemeanor charge carrying a maximum potential penalty of 60 days in jail and/or a fine of up to $500, plus court assessments. The charge will have to be resolved in Florida; you can consult a lawyer in the county where she's charged to see if there is a way to resolve the charge without her having to return to that state.
