I am currently on a 12 month Marijuana ACD that dictates that I should stay out of trouble, that is all.
I have just received a summons for public consumption of alcohol, which is a false accusation. My 27 year old friend (I am currently 19) was the only one with an open beer walking down the street when the cops arrived. I was walking with him and the police charged each of us with the violation. Currently, this is my only offense besides the marijuana charge on my record.
I am also on federal financial aid for my school, which is my main concern. Would this affect my loans/grants if I were to plead guilty by mail? (A violation, not a crime and a $25 fine) Or should I take the trip down from Buffalo to appear in court to dispute this?
