I was charged with furnishing alcohol to a minor (18) and given a court date.
Anonymous2 views3 answers
My friend blew a .000 even though he had been drinking. The officer gave him a ticket because he was in possession of the alcohol I bought and told me that he could arrest me but wasn't going to cause a scene. This happened in VT. I was told I could drop my friend off and then come back to the police station where I would give my finger prints and other info. I went to police station and the officer took my info down, my photo, my fingerprints. He then asked me if I had ever been arrested before and I said, no. He then informed me that this was an arrest and never once read me my rights. He then informed me that I could get the charges dropped if I knew of any drug dealers that I could give them info on. I am a hard working never been in trouble person. I don't do drugs.
Very minor case. Regardless if you get criminal papers in the mail and a date to appear, hire an experienced criminal defense attorney so this is dismissed and expunged from your record.
This is a very serious matter and could have broad reaching lifetime consequences. However, whatever you do DON'T cooperate with police! You need counsel ASAP.

I looked through your posting and could not find a question mark. I suggest you retain a criminal defense attorney to represent you on this charge.
