Legal Question in Criminal Law in Virginia

Re: Drunk in public

Its highly dependant upon the specific facts and circumstances of the case. Generally speaking, if the police had a valid reason to have contact with your son, the underage possession and/or comsumption of alcohol charge will stand up. The drunk in public charge is more tenuous, and depends whether he was in public view before he came into police custody.
