CHARGE: POSSESSION OF ALCOHOL BY A MINOR

Attorney Matthew Marin is happy to report that the charge of possession of alcohol by a minor was dismissed in the Newport County District Court on February 23rd, 2017.  Our Client was home from college on school break and had been stopped by a local police department for a traffic violation.  Once stopped, the Police discovered that our Client, who was not yet 21 years of age, was in possession of alcohol.  He was charged with possession of alcohol by a minor and we appeared in Court with him on his behalf.  If convicted, our Client faced a mandatory 60 day license suspension.  We were able to negotiate a dismissal of the charges after our Client completed some community service work back at his college out of state.  After the charges were dropped by the Town, we were able to have the police report and records related to the case expunged from our Client's record.  If you, your son, or your daughter have been charged or cited for possession of alcohol by a minor, give Attorney Matthew Marin a call for immediate and experienced legal advice and representation.

RESULT: POSSESSION OF ALCOHOL BY A MINOR CHARGES DISMISSED AND EXPUNGED on March 7th, 2017
