What is the name of your state? Florida
My son, who turned 18 last week, was attending a party last night where 20-30 kids from 17-19 years of age were. There was beer on the premises and apparently some had imbibed. My son arrived about 10:45 and his only contact with the beer was to remove some empty bottles from a table on the patio and take them to the kitchen.
The sheriff deputies were apparently responding to a complaint from a parent that her son (who was one of the kids in attendance) had stolen money ($175) from her and she knew he was attending this party. The deputies surrounded the house and came in through the back patio area.
My son and all in attendance were charged with underage possession. My specific question is what constitutes possession. If in fact his only contact with the substance was clearing empty bottles from a table is that legally possession.
There was no question about sobriety of all in attendance, no one was tested or even suspected of being under the influence. Also is this search for a potential felon grounds for staking out a house and entering without knocking from the backyard.
