Hello,
I am 20 years old and I was recently charged with an MIP (minor in possession) for a security guard at a venue witnessing me taking a sip of a drink and calling the police. However, when I went in for my arraignment, the judge said "contributing alcohol to minors is a 4th degree felony" and it said on my file that I committed giving or serving alcohol to minors, which is incorrect completely (I'm a minor myself!). When I told the judge that it was an MIP and I am only 20 years old, he was like "oh wow, you don't want the first offense! Let me change that for you". But when I go on the public court case records, it still says, "selling or giving alcohol to minors". Is there a way I can get my whole charge dropped completely since they are accusing me of the wrong thing and failing to correct it?
