Summer Underage Drinking Case Dismissed at Clerk Magistrate Hearing on Cape Cod

Summer kids on Nantucket and the Cape drink alcohol and sometimes get in trouble for it. This young man, a standout student at a top college, got busted at a summer beach party. While not the crime of the century, this is the type of stuff that can really trip people up down the line if not handled properly. The facts of this case don’t standout except for the fact that he, along with his buddies, were drinking on the beach and were later surrounded by a crowd as the police busted them. Things got a little out of hand with the crowd as the on-lookers chanted and heckled the police. This obviously made things worse for my poor client who took no part in the melee. After a few letters, some advocacy, and a $200 fine, his charges were dismissed.
