    Default Under Age, Open Container

    I was handed a beer by a random "senior" as i was walking past his house. It was sealed so i took it. About a block later a blue mini van pulls up and an undercover hops out asking for my id. I think i was possibly set up. He gives me two tickets one for underage drinking and one for an open container on a public street. I am 18. This occured in delaware. One ticket states the open container charge the other says nothing. I was not breathalized. I was assigned a court date and told to plea not guilty by the cop. My court date conflicts with my finals week i was wondering if this could be changed. Additionally I was wondering if i need a lawyer and what kind of fines i am facing. And if any letters or notification will be sent home.

    I would expect you to be fined be several hundred dollars, and to get a one month driver's license suspension.
