What is the name of your state?Washington State
Hey,
heres what happend:
I was in a car with 4 other people (all minors) and we were driving to a dance. The 3 of us in the back were drinking on the way. We stopped at a gas station one of the individuals ran inside and bought a beer, how i dont know. We were pulled over and my self and another individual (he was extremley intoxicated) were given a breath test and then charged with a minor in possession. I blew a .167 in the test. I was very cooperative and respectful of the officers. I made a statement in it I said that the intoxicated individual charged with me gave me orange juice and I dident know that it had vodka in it. I then also stated that I saw bill buy the beer from the store. (which I did). Under my intoxicated and very scared state, I lied in the statement. I brought the mixed orange juice into the car and I knew what was in it.
this is also my first offense of any kind.
my question now is can I change my statement if I go back and explain this to the officer or should I just run with the story.
also, what can I do to lessen the punishment? what is deferred adjucation?
I am a canadian citizen living in the US on a temporary visa. how will this effect mine and my familys status here?
any information helps,
thank you very much
