New Jersey | Disability Law
This weekend I was got a "complaint-summons" for "Within the jurisdiction of this court, purposely cause or recklessly create the risk of public inconvenience, annoyance or alarm by creating a physically dangerous condition by an act which served no legitimate purpose of the defendant, specifically by trying to cause a fight with another subject while being intoxicated under the age to consume alcohol, in violation of N.J.S. 2C:33-2A (2)." I also got a complaint for "underage drinking, 4-5.4" I had to go to court today, and I plead not guilty. They said they will schedule a trial. I am unsure of exactly what the complaints mean and what are the potential punishments of them. Basically my question is should I get a lawyer and try to fight it? Or is it not a big deal and I should just plead guilty? The "subject" who I was trying to fight with was my best friend&he would testify saying that I wasn't trying to hurt him or whatever. Thank you for any help I can get.
