    Unhappy Charged with Underage Possession or Consumption of an Alcoholic Beverage

    My question involves criminal law for the state of: New Jersey

    I was at an underage party that was broken up by the police. Everyone was charged with underage possession or consumption. I arrived at the party literally 10 minutes before the police arrived and did not have anything to drink at all.

    They sent the juvenile delinquency complaint into the juvenile intake section and said that they will process the complaint and notify me as to when and where the complaint will be heard.

    Will I have a court date? What are the possible consequences? I have read that I can get a $250 fine and have my license suspended for at least 6 months?

    If I do have a court date, will arguing my case about how i had nothing to drink help me at all?

    Thank You

    We cannot predict the future.

    Yes, the penalties you outline are possible.

    No, saying you were just near the liquor is enough.
