    Cool Furnishing Alcohol by Walking

    Okay I'm in need of some more viewpoints. Here is the situation, five friends and I were walking on a sidewalk and stopped by a local sheriff. We all had been drinking, but were not being disorderly. My friends were all 20 except one that was 19. All were peers I graduated with we went golfing during the day and were walking to a friends dorm. He gave everyone (except me of course) and underage. Then continued to give me a contributing. I did have a small cooler with me, it was one of those soft, flexible shoulder strap Ohio State (Go Bucks!) kinds to give you an idea. The officer asked whose beer it was and I said it was mine. Long story semi short I was provided three counts off furnishing. Why three you ask when I was with five others? Good question two of the friends were deemed unintoxicated via breathalyzer. So back to your first skepticism about being disorderly.. we really were just walking. Now here is my defense.
    -I didn't purchase them alcohol. I really didn't they had their own when we went to golf, no need for me to furnish.
    -At no time the beer that was mine did any of them carry.
    -None of them had beer with them. I was the only one.
    -Why did the sheriff stop to begin with?????
    -Guilty by association... when did I become responsible for other adults. These aren't minors we're talking about. Unforunately I'm not cool enough to be That Guy. ha
    -I did not have an i.d. at the time. How could I have bought it???? I really did not have one.

    Would like some outside input lemme know what you think!!

    Since two of your friends had consumed beer, and you were by your own admission the only one with beer, that presumably is why the police inferred that you delivered alcohol to them. What did your friends say about where they got their beer?

    Given that you had beer, the issue of how you bought it seems wholly irrelevant.

    I suggest working with a criminal defense lawyer.

    It was three of the five people that I was with. I see where the officers made their inference but I never had to buy them anything they brought their own beer to the course. The officers never asked anything about where they got beer or who they got it from, the only question asked was whose beer was that which I replied mine (because it was). Where they got it I don't know probably took it from their fridge from their house. I dont emphasize that to insinuate it wasn't from my house I do because it was their house, not a parents house. Who knows how they got it. It wasn't on my things to talk about when I saw them.

    I just need some advice on whats my best way to approach this. Besides getting an attorney.
