Does anyone know anything about a minor being charged with MIP? I have a friend that her son's girlfriend got arrested Saturday, she is 22 now, but they held her on a 2006 MIP charge.
Anyone have any insite on this?


As long as it was within the statute of limitations, they can prosecute her. In Mississippi, the state must prove she knowingly (or with purpose) possessed the alcohol. If it is a C class misdemeanor~ her attorney can see if she can plea to a lesser included charge and get on with her life. She would have to pay a fine, do Community Service (maybe) or take a class (maybe)... but if it is reduced enough it should not impact her for the rest of her life if at all. flowerforyou




The MIP was when she was 20, 2006- that was what the hold was for.

no i meant when being charged
over 18 for any thing youre no longer a minor
18 and under they wipe out your record or lock it up
so any thing they see after that starts when your 18

well in montana (not sure bout anywhere else) if you are under 18 you get an MIP and over 18 you get an IP. only difference that we ever saw was the amount of the fines.
not sure when it starts to go on your record and stuff, but the laws are much more lax in montana, so they dont take your liscence and stuff like they do here in oregon..

You are talking about adult versus juvenile records. This is about being a minor in the eyes of the law for alcohol (under 21). As an adult, this charge would go on a permanent record.

Makes sense?

Sounds like she did not meet the requirements of her probation/adjudication.
