Iler Law Firm retained to represent Monmouth University student charged with Underage Drinking
Our firm has been retained to represent a Defendant who was charged with underage possession of alcohol when police broke up a party at Monmouth University over the weekend. Police broke up a party at the Whalepond Road home and issued summonses for underage drinking to more than a half-dozen people.
Police allegedly received a call about a loud party at the home around 12:50 a.m. last Friday and determined that three 19-year-old Monmouth University students who rented the home were hosting a party. Police allegedly found two beer kegs, a small bag of marijuana, a digital scale, and marijuana pipes and bongs. The three tenants were charged with providing alcoholic beverages to minors and possession of drug paraphernalia. For additional information, see the Asbury Park Press article entitled "Nine people given underage drinking summonses in Ocean Twp".
It is essential for young people like this to avoid a permanent criminal charge on their record. This can be done in a variety of ways by an experienced criminal defense lawyer, such as a conditional discharge or a downgrade to a municipal or township ordinance.
