My son was driving my car with his friends in the car. They stopped, parked, removed the key and were visiting when one of the girls pulled out a bottle of vodka in her purse. Some of the kids took a swig, but NOT my son who was the DD. The bottle was being held by a girl who was standing outside the vehicle. The cops roared up in a car and the girl threw the bottle into a purse inside the vehicle. The cops heard the clink and asked if they had alcohol. They admitted they did and then gave the officers a 5th of vodka 2/3 full and an unopened 5th of Captain Morgan. The cops poured out the open bottle and confiscated the other. Then they handcuffed both the girl who owned the purse (not the one who was outside and threw the bottle inside) and my son who said he was the driver of his parents vehicle. My son had no idea they had alcohol until it was being passed around outside the car. The cops then cuffed another of the girls (who dared to ask a question) and began verbally barrading all the kids. Eventually they released all the cuffs and issued a ticket to the girl who owned the purse and my son for 25662 B&P. How can both of them be in possession? Is there any defense? This is a good bunch of kids no priors, good grades in school and college bound or enrolled. Could this cause my 17 year old to loose his license?
