    Default Providing Alcohol to a Minor

    My question involves criminal law for the state of: Maryland


    My boyfriend was out with his friends at one of their houses. They were drinking and smoking marijuana. The cops showed up after a neighbor called to report that they saw a group of guys go into the house. My boyfriend was charged with providing alcohol to a minor. The truth is, my boyfriend never did provide alcohol to the monir, but is being charged with it because the minor told the cops he did. Along with this charge, my boyfriend is being charged with possession of paraphernilia with intend to use. He is 22 and this is his first offense.

    My questions are:
    Is there anything that he can do to get the charges of providing alcohol to a minor dropped because it is untrue and there is a lack of supporting evidence?

    If he is charged with providing a minor with alcohol, what will it result in? Will he just get probation and a fine?

    What can result from the charge of possession of paraphernilia? Will he just get probation and a fine?

    He should hire a lawyer for this, really. He can argue for himself until his face falls off, but that rarely helps. A lawyer will be able to argue more persuasively.

    If he is charged with providing a minor with alcohol, what will it result in? Will he just get probation and a fine?

    What can result from the charge of possession of paraphernilia? Will he just get probation and a fine?
    Obviously, we cannot tell you what he will get, only what he could get.

    For the charge of providing alcohol to a minor, he faces a maximum fine of $2500.

    For the possession of paraphernalia, he faces a fine of $500.
