Were you caught drinking alcohol as a minor at the Hollywood Casino Amphitheatre in Maryland Heights, MO? Were you at a concert, and a security guard / police officer asked to see your ID? Are you now worried about how this charge will affect your future? Do you know the consequences of pleading guilty to this kind of charge? Are you familiar with what a good St Louis criminal defense lawyer can do for you?
When a show or concert is held at the Hollywood Casino Amphitheatre (used to be called the Verizon Amphitheatre), there is usually a lot of alcoholic beverages consumed. And because most shows are held in the summer, there is ample opportunity to consume.
Pleading Guilty Is Not Your Best Option!!But if you are caught as a minor in possession of alcohol in St Louis, then a police officer can cite you. Or even if you are not caught with the drink in hand, the cop can still write up a ticket by way of the new “possession by consumption” laws in Missouri.
And if you were to plead guilty to the charge, then you should know that this kind of infraction is a Class B Misdemeanor. This type of charge comes with up to six (6) months of jail time and a $500 fine. In addition, if you plead guilty, the state will automatically suspend your driving privileges for thirty (30) days.
