    Default Minor Caught With Drugs and Alcohol

    My question involves juvenile law in the State of: Connecticut
    Just recently a few friends and I were drinking some beers at a parking lot in my car. Long story short I lied to the cop about nothing being in the car and he found a 30 rack and a bottle of rum. After further searching he found my one hitter packed with a small amount of weed. Got nailed with possession of alcohol by a minor, less than half ounce, and paraphernalia. I am 17 and have never been in trouble with the law before. My question is what should I expect my consequence to be? I wasn't given a ticket, just a court date. I am aware my license will be suspended and I will have to pay some sort of fine. Also will this be expunged from my record when I turn 18? Any tips on how to go about court would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

    You need a lawyer. You could be charged as an adult.

    The court date is in juvenile court?

    If so, what happens will depend in no small part on the judge's impression of you - your demeanor, your home, school, community and prior criminal records, whether or not you appear to have a drug or substance abuse problem.... The result could be anything from a deferral to see how you're doing (I'm not expecting that the court would simply dismiss with a warning given the facts you've shared) to detention. If you look squeaky clean except for this incident, I would venture you're looking at deferral or probation, perhaps with periodic testing for drugs or alcohol, perhaps with community service. But outcomes can vary significantly by county and judge.
