What should I do? Ticket for furnishing alcohol to a minor.

Business 4 views 5 answers
I am 21 and my friend is 19. We were at a club and I let my friend take one sip of my drink. 5 minutes later a bouncer came and brought us to a cop tent. I got a ticket for giving a minor alcohol. And got kicked out. What should I do? Next steps?

I would suggest that you just pay the ticket it doesn't sound too serious.

I would suggest you consult with an attorney actually licensed in CA. The matter is more serious than my colleague in Philly realizes. The fines can be massive for this offense.

I suggest you talk to an attorney where you got the ticket This ticket is more than just a typical infraction and cannot be taken care of just by explaining what happened to the judge.

I agree with Mr. Finnecy and Mr. Valcarenghi. You need to talk with an attorney. This is taken seriously in California and from what you described, there could be some facts that would help you. Stop talking about this on the internet and start interviewing some attorneys. Good luck.

It is more likely a MISDEMEANOR and your were given a citation with a court date and appearance. Because you were not taken the a police station does not mean you weren't cited with more than just an infraction. I recommend you speak with an attorney. This is more likely a misdemeanor and has a form of mandatory sentence. Please do not give your name on this site, because what you just wrote is an admission. Get consultation.
