His friend was wasted and my boyfriend didn't know the area so when taking directions he accidentally turned the wrong way down a one way and the police pulled him over. They smelled alchol which was coming from his friend in the passenger seat whom was 21. The police asked my boyfriend (joe) to step out of the car they did all the DUI tests on the side of the road which he passed while another officer searched their car. There was a empty water bottle that smelled to alchol so they charged joe with a open container which had nothing in it. They arrested him took joe to the police station and did a breathalyzer test and when joe asked to see the score the officer refused to show him and then wrote on the paper work that he blew a 0.9. So this is the situation as well joe is 20 years

So your boyfriend was drinking under the influence and under age. It doesn't matter why he was driving or that his passenger was drunker than he was.
Best Answer
Get a lawyer right away. The stop was legal. Do not make any more statements about any alleged underage drinking by your boyfriend. Since he was underage, any amount of alcohol in his system is a problem.
Best Answer
You need to hire a criminal defense attorney to represent your boyfriend. This is a serious case. Underage DUI and underage drinking. This could mess up employment and housing opportunities in the future as well as driver license privileges.
