What is the difference between underage drinking and possession charges?
My son was ticketed for what I thought was underage drinking while he was at college. He is 18 years old. He hired a lawyer there. The lawyer is now telling me that he was arrested, NOT ticketed, and charged with possession, NOT underage drinking. What is the difference between the two charges? He was not handcuffed or taken into the police station so I guess I do not fully understand the term "arrested." He is now to do 8 hrs. of community service and write a paper which will be submitted to the D.A. in hopes that it may be dismissed. His court date has been continued until July. He is in the process of filling out employment applications as well as college applications. Is he required to show that he has been arrested on these?
