Back-to-school season brings a lot of excitement — and, for some families, unexpected legal situations.
Late summer and early fall often see an increase in underage drinking incidents, minor in possession charges, and alcohol-related arrests as teens and college students head back to school or move into dorms. In Arizona, a minor in possession charge under ARS 4-244(9) is a Class 1 misdemeanor — and a conviction can affect a young person's record, educational opportunities, and future for years to come.
