Arrest for Disorderly Conduct, Shoplifting, and Consumption of Alcohol by a Minor

Arrest For Disorderly Conduct

Seemingly small mistakes can add up to legal problems. In April, a 19-year-old man from New Hampshire was charged with disorderly conduct, shoplifting, and consumption of alcohol by a minor. He shoplifted about $7 worth of snacks. An officer located the young man and observed intoxication. He was arrested.

According to New Jersey Stat. Ann. Section 33:1-81, a minor can’t purchase or knowingly consume alcohol. It’s illegal for a minor to enter an establishment that’s licensed to sell alcohol if he or she intends or attempts to purchase alcohol, consume alcohol on the premises, or ask an adult to attempt to buy alcohol for the minor on these premises according to New Jersey Stat. Ann. Section 33:1-17b:

Additional penalties may be imposed if the offender operates a motor vehicle with a suspended driver’s license. In addition to fines and license suspension, a judge may require the minor offender to participate in authorized alcohol treatment and education programs which cannot exceed the applicable license suspension or jail term periods.
