Possession Citation, Under 21

[Josh444]

What is the name of your state? MD

Sorry if this doesn't technically fit under this category, but it was the closest one i could find.

I was with some people recently at a football game who were drinking beer (I wasn't) and an officer spotted us. When he came over our way, everyone ran and ditched their alcohol. I stayed there (I figured I'm innocent, so why run?) and was given a citation for possession of alcohol while under 21. The officer didn't give me a breathalizer or anything, so needless to say, I'm completely confused.

Was the officer supposed to measure my BAC? Did I do what I was supposed to? How do you think this will go over at my court date?
ANY help would be MUCH appreciated

Was the officer supposed to measure my BAC?

Not required.

Did I do what I was supposed to?

If you mean by NOT running, yes.

How do you think this will go over at my court date?

You will be given an opportunity to present your defense to the charge.
