Alcohol & Drugs: MIP, MIC, Intoxication Michigan's New MIP Law

[worried_mom]

My son, then age 16, was arrested for MIP in May 2005 in one county and again in Nov 2005 in a different county. The Nov 05 incident came to court in Jan 06. He pled guilty on Jan 10, was given "probation" until April 10th and has to complete an essay. When the Ref gets the essay, the charge will be deferred.

We just got served today with a date for the May 05 incident scheduled in Feb 06. If he pleds guilty, even though my son did not have a driver's license in May 05, will the Sec of State consider this his second offense and do something to his license?

If so, what does the Sec of State do on the second offense?

Do the occurrances that happened while he was a juvenile get counted and add to new ones if he gets more MIP's as an adult, age 17 or over?

MIP in Michigan

I have a question, and I guess Im just starting to really freak out...Tomorrow January 31st, 2006 at 1:30pm in Rochester Michigan I am going to court for a MIP. It is my first offense and Im scared out of my mind becaues I have no lawyer or parent attending with me. I dont have the money for the lawyer and I don't want my parents there. Anyways, I was in the hallway of my aptarment at Oakland University smoking a cigerette and a Residential Assisant of course came walking by, let me remind you before this incident and after I have never seen an RA walking around ever, plus it was a Sunday evening. I had a beer in my hands she asked how old I was and I said 21, I knew Id get caught cause she had to write me up for drinking in the hallway. So I went back into my apartment and about 20 minutes later the cops were there. I was given a breathalizer and blew 0.036 and admitted to drinking 3 beers. This happened in mid November and my court day is now 2 months later, but I do turn 21 February 28th so Im wondering if that will help? Also Since it is a first offense but I am an adult and not under 18 will that effect my case?? If anyone has any ideas for me please let me know or if your religious just keep me in your prayers tomorrow Thank You Heather
