I was at a concert on Friday the 28th and an officer pulled me aside and asked me how old I was because I was holding a beer, I was scared as I am under-aged and have never been confronted by a cop for anything so I lied to the officer and told him I was 21 he asked to see my ID and I told him it was in my car and he asked me to bring him to my car, I led him around and then stopped and said I was lying and I was under-aged, I was put in cuffs and they called my parents, they decided not to take me to jail but to give me a court summons for the 2nd of July. I am curious as to what I could be facing as far as fines or community service hours when I appear in court this Tuesday. The concert was in Hartford Connecticut. I was not driving I had not even had my car there with one of my friends was driving. I'm not sure what category to put this under.
Read the citation that the police officer gave you. It is probably a citation for "MIP - Minor in Possession of Alcohol". You need to hire a criminal defense attorney in Hartford, Connecticut to represent you to keep this off your criminal record.
