If my husband was arrested for buying alcohol for my daughter and her friend, what are we looking at?
My daughter was having a birthday party and after a week of begging I gave in and told her I wold allow her and her friends that were staying the night have one wine cooler each. My husband took them to the gas station and the girls went in the store with him and the clerk called the police and my husband was arrested for contributing to a minor. I have been reading this is a class a misdemeanor and he had another class a misdemeanor a year ago. If you have 2 within a year but for different things what are the chances he will do a lot of jail time?

Given the fact that your husband has two misdemeanor charges in one year where the first one presumably was a conviction, there is a very good chance that if he is convicted with respect to the current charge of contributing to the delinquency of a minor by purchasing alcohol that he will be fined, sentenced to fifteen (15) days in jail and be placed on probation.
I suggest that he consult with a criminal defense attorney to assist him regarding his current matter.
