    Default Underage drinking charges

    A friend of mine was having a party..he's 19. The police showed up and they were arrested. He got 120 hours of community service and 1 year probation. He talked them down to 100 hours of community service, because he is only working for the summer before returning to college. However, being a college kid, he's wondering if there is a way to get less of a punishment. It's his first offense. His worst thing besides this is a speeding ticket. I don't think he will get off completely, but I think maybe 6-9 months would be reasonable to ask the court. He is going in a few days, so any assistance would be helpful. Thank you.

    Default Community Service

    If he has finished his community service requirement, he may wish to ask his probation officer about the possibility of an early discharge.

    Default Community Service/Probation

    So he will need to finish the community service portion first? It's not possible, do you think, for him to get some portion off the year probation for "good behavior" (moreso, for doing the community service and for 1st offense)?[/list][/quote]

    Default Getting an Early Discharge

    The less of his sentence he completes, the less likely it is that he will get any latitude from his probation officer. If he has unpaid fines, unfulfilled community service obligations, or has been otherwise noncompliant with probation, his chances go down.
