[quote=Anonymous]SIL just went through this with my nephew this past spring semester.

A party he was at was busted by the town police, not campus police.  All of the underage kids that the police managed to wrangle up were cited with a ticket & court date.  Those that were deemed to be too drunk to safely make it home were rounded up in the big police van that was called and they had to sober up in jail.

This was at UVA, so I'm going off of the consequences he got in VA.  They went to his court date with a lawyer.  No loss of license and apparently, at least according to his lawyer, this doesn't happen often unless the person was extremely drunk & belligerent or a repeat offender.  He had to pay a $500 fine, attend VASAP (alcohol safety & education program), attend a victim impact forum (DUI victims & relatives speak), and had to complete 90 hours of community service in 180 days.  Once my nephew completed all of the above and a certain amount of time passed, he's able to get it removed from his record.

I'd definitely go in with a lawyer who can get the judge to agree to the first time offender course of action.   [/quote]
