What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)?New Jersey

so my friend (yes, it is actually a friend) told me today that she got arrested last night. she and 2 other people (all 16 years old) broke into another friend's house and drank all of the alcohol in the house, and the police came and arrested them. she only mentioned being charged with breaking&entering and underaged drinking, but could there be more charges?. im not sure of all the details, but needless to say she was extremely upset today, and im really scared for her as well. what can she expect to happen in court? what does this mean for applying to colleges and jobs in the future? any other information she should know?

thank you so much in advanceWhat is the name of your state (only U.S. law)?

Her parents should be getting her a good attorney so they can mitigate her damages because they could be many.

I suggest that you should get a new friend. The last thing you need is a loser to drag you down.
