Hello, I am 20 years old and I recently received a citation for underage drinking. I was a passenger in a car with a sober driver, who was pulled over in a 'traffic stop.' My main question is that I was wondering if it is still possible for me to plead not guilty on the citation if it says on the citation
"admits to drinking at _____ bar," which I did do, but I wasn't sure if by saying this it makes me automatically guilty. I was breathalyzed but they never got a reading, but it does say on it that there was "smell of alcohol on breath." I would definitely like to have the trial since I am pursuing a degree in teaching and can't have this on my record. Thanks so much!
