Why wasn'tr this teen charged with driver a vehicle under the influence? He could have killed someone including himself.
Why wasn't the person who allowed underage drinking investigated?
Do we only enforce laws that are convienent?
With 24 misdemeanors, he could spend up to 24 years in jail, so whether he still can legally drive becomes a moot point. If he's in jail a long time, he won't be driving.
Even if he does get jail time - most of that would be served on probation. He'll still have a license and wouldn't have learned anything about the consequences of drinking and driving.
Then again, he might just be ordered to pay restitution for the mailboxes - what will that teach him next time he gets behind the wheel after drinking?
Doesn't make me feel real safe and I'm not worried about my mailbox.
Ugh. I see he is out on bail. Well that is a surprise. I would expect that when the case gets to the Solicitor's Office, they will tack on additional charges.
