    Default Possession Of Alcohol Charge In Virginia Beach

    I am 18 years old and on saturday night, my cousin and I decided to drive home after drinking at a party. (Stupid Idea). I was pulled over but luckily was not charged with a DUI. He only gave me a ticket for possession of alcohol and did not even give me a breathalizer test. I have a few questions as to what I should do...

    1. Will the fact that I was driving me brought up in court?
    2. Do I need a lawyer, since this is only my first charge and only got possession?
    3. Any advice?

    It's possible. I don't see where that would make a difference on the possession charge though.

    2. Do I need a lawyer, since this is only my first charge and only got possession?
    That's a decision you will have to make.

    3. Any advice?
    You can read the Virginia code § 4.1-305 and that may help you make up your mind if you want an attorney or not.

    I know this may be a rather old thread, but seeing how you were in the same perdicament as me right now.. when you went to your summoning, what did they sentence you to? also did you have a choice to pay any kind of fine or go to community service?
