Legal Question in Criminal Law in Florida

I was currently charged for possession of alcohol by being under 21 in Panama City Beach, Florida for holding a beer can. I am 19 years old and live in Illinois and am currently on supervision for drinking last may. I did not have to pay a bond to get out. They told me I could call and just get the price and pay the ticket, instead of going to court out of state. I was wondering when I go to court in june for Illinois to get off supervision if they are going to see my ticket from florida? Also, what should I do about the possession ticket in florida?

If you are not required to tell the Illinois court about the Florida contact with the law, then don't. Otherwise, you should let them know. As to the Florida ticket, you might be able to call or write for an extension, if you need one. Otherwise, unless you have a defense to it, you should probably pay it-if it's not a criminal citation. If it's a criminal citation, you should consult with an attorney from the panama City area before paying it,
