What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? Michigan
Last July my daughter asked me if she could have a few friends over for a campfire in our back yard. I said yes as they were all going off to college soon. I went out and checked on them before I went to bed at around 9:00 P.M. At that time there was no funny business going on.(drinking). At around 1:00 P.M. my daughter woke us up and told us the police were knocking at her bedroom and were demanding they come outside. I came downstairs and told the police that we were all going to bed and the party had been over for some time and could they please leave. They informed me they had pulled someone over that had left our house earlier foe a bad headlight and had found some weed and a half bottle of liquor in his car. I talked with my daughter about this and she told me that he had been there but when he pulled out the bottle he was told to leave. Ironically when he was pulled over he blew a 0.00. To make a long story short my daughter and two sleepover friends had somehow managed to get a 12 pack of beer and had consumed 8 of them. The cops were very keen on them blowing and after haggling with them, my daughter and one friend blew around a 1.0. The other friend did not want to so I had her call her parents and they arrived within 20 minutes. after some discussion in which the police said over and over that if everyone blew, then they would probably get a 200 dollar finesome community service, and that would be the end of it. That was all true except for last Thursday, Feb. 19 two officers showed up at my door, arrested me and locked me up for 2 hours. There was a warrant for my arrest for allowing minors to consume alcohol on my property. MCL 750141A2. I answer charges on March 6. Any suggestions how I should handle this?
