[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Thanks, PPs.  To answer some of the questions, he was not belligerent at all.  He said he was completely stunned and very cooperative.  The police kept him overnight and did not let him make a phone call - is that legal?  They released him the next day after his blood/alcohol level was stable.

Sorry if I'm not using the correct terminology, I'm not in the legal field nor am I familiar with these charges.  He texted me pictures of the ticket/summons, with the charges - public intoxication and possession of alcohol under age 21.

A PP mentioned security clearances and this is exactly what we're concerned about [b]as he hopes to work with the intelligence community at some point.  [/b]

Do something to show contrition -- e.g. alcohol and drug education. Getting drunk in college once will not hurt an intelligence or law enforcement career unless he LIES about it. The thing he needs to be aware of if he ever wants to hold a position with a security clearance is that they will speak to people who knew him back in college and ask about his habits, drug use, alcohol use.

Happened to me. It was totally fine. I am a fed now. Really not a big deal although I'm sure it feels like it now. Be  nice to your child, a night in jail is traumatic regardless of why he was there. I just got screamed at and still resent the way my parents handled it.

What state/school was he at? I'm guessing the south
