Proof of Minor in Possession (Pennsylvania)

[JasonSaddoch]

I am 17, and a police officer has called my parents saying he will be giving me a Minor in Possession charge for supplying other kids with alcohol. One friend of mine was at a school event and got breathalyzed. He blew a .09, and received an underage drinking citation, which lead to him saying he got the alcohol from me.

I was never breathalyzed, never arrested, and never seen with alcohol by any police officers or any adults whatsoever. Therefore I am assuming the officer's "proof" lies solely in the testimony of the kid who was breathalyzed.

My question is, will this evidence be enough for me to actually get convicted of a Minor in Possession misdemeanor?

It could be, sure. There may be other witnesses that have also dimed you off.

If charged, don't make any statements and ask mom and dad to pay for an attorney. Expect to have to pay them back at some point in time.

Understand that statements to mom and dad are generally not protected, so you may want to even clam up to them as to the truth of the matter.

lots of people get convicted on the sole basis of a single witness. if you are guilty or innocent, seek an attorney.
