What is the name of your state? Pennsylvania.
3 Days ago I was arrested on charges of underage drinking and criminal trespassing. I was hanging out with friends, had a couple brews, and we went out to find something to do. After driving around for a while, we pulled over onto a seemingly public road, and parked at the end (to save gas until we knew what we were doing for the night). A cop pulled up, told us it was private property and proceded to search the car. Nothing was found. I was in the backseat when we had pulled in, and had no idea the road (which was rather large and normal) was private. I was drinking some orange juice standing there when the cops decided to breathalize me because drinking orange juice and chewing gum is apparently suspicious. I blew a .07. I was not given public drunkeness because I wasnt really drunk at all but my citation claims that if I plead guilty my licence will be suspended (BAD). Im just not really sure as to what I should plead, and what I should do. This is my first offense and I have had considerably difficult conditions at home, and Im wondering if they will give me a break or if there is anything I can do to lessen the penalty. I am 18 and I must make my plea on wednesday before going away for 10 days. Please help!
