I am 18 and live in New Jersey. Me and some friends were intoxicated in a public park past its open hours. The police came and interrogated us about the backpack we had, and they searched and found beer inside. All of us but one were underage. The 21 year old admitted to buying us the alcohol. In the end, we were all written tickets for only trespassing in violation of "BO 17-1.6" and they let us go home after dumping out all the beers and throwing the cans away. I know nothing about law, and am wondering if the cop let us go with only a trespassing charge, or will the underage intoxication in public be brought up on the court date on April 18th? Also, I will be out of state on the day of my assigned court date, and have had these plans for months. (visiting my father in north carolina from the 15th until the 24th of April) The plane tickets are already payed for, and I have a planned college meeting during that week. Is the enough to get a court date changed(if even possible)? I really don't know what to do.
