Minor Incommsumtion?

ok i got a ticket for minor incomsumption of alcohol about a month ago and im due for court in a couple of months.
i was wondering
if i already got the ticket i cant go to jail right
it says i have to go to municipal court and we made a deal with the prosecutor that doesnt involve jail time
so i cant go to jail right
Answers:
I would take a close look at the paperwork you got from the officer. In Ohio, underage consumption is a first degree misdemeanor. The officers have the right to arrest on this offense, however the most common result is a Summons in Lieu of arrest. This is not the same thing as a "ticket". In general, jail time may still be possible. Whatever deals you made with the prosecutor are considered by the judge on a case by case basis. If it's your first offense, jail time is very rare.
If the judge OKs it , %26 you don't violate any of the provisions of the agreement .(Your post seems as if it might be under the influence . Check it again in the morning )
hope you have a lawyer. talk with your lawyer. 1st offense -- probably not so bad. but you get more credit with representation than without. since I'm sure telling you to stop partying wouldn't' matter to you, then STOP putting yourself in a situation that can get you busted. use common sense and show some responsibility.
deals are discretionary, meaning the judge gets the final say...so if they want to make an example of you, they can make you serve the time...it really depends on what side of the bed the judge wakes up on. :-)
