If I was charged with illegal transportation of alcohol, what should I expect?

I wasn’t aware of the law and that it was a crime and I do not know what to expect or the consequences. I am from Indiana and I heard about the diversion program. Is that a viable option since I have no criminal history?

This falls under the various Alcohol Offenses in Indiana.  It is a Class C misdeamenor and if done while operating a vehicle you can have your licensse suspended for up to one your if you are over 18, 60 days if you are under 18. It is quite possible to enter into a diversion program if this offense is grouped with other intoxication offenses (MIP and thelike) and there are programs for those offenses. Please speak with an attorney asap.
