My question involves criminal law for the state of: New York
Hello,
I was 18 or 19 when I received a ticket for an open container, I didn't get arrested or charged with underage drinking. I did however get charged with possession of an open container (red cup of beer). I was instructed by the officer to throw the cup away. I received the ticket; however I never paid the fine, and my address changed. I was curious what the penalties are for that? Also what I should do from this point on? I'm still a college student and can't afford the fine that has probably accumulated by now, but I don't want to be arrested at any point in my life. Thank you.
