DUI / DWI Law Answers
Since minors are the only individuals that can be found guilty of the minor in possession of alcohol charges, the first time penalties in Louisiana focus more on education of the person and correction rather than severe punishment. It is the hope that you will not violate this law again, but if you do, subsequent charges will have harsher penalties. Possible Penalties for the fist time offender: Fines of up to $500 Suspension of driver's license Mandatory alcohol and drug awareness classes Probation Community service You might want to consult an attorney. Good luck.
