Q: I am 17, and I turn 18 in one month.
This is my first illegal offense. I tried to use a fake ID to buy blunt wraps at a liquor store. She realized it was fake and put it behind the register. I placed a gatorade on the counter and paid for it and then I grabbed over the counter and took the ID and ran off. Im currently under investigation for Robbery and Assault, what does this mean, how severe or menial can this be, and how can this affect my college acceptance,
A:
you are a minor so Juv Ct is the worse case scenario............not adult court
not sure if DA would file since you stole something that was yours.........though illegal
every school has their own criteria for admission.
if they look at this just as being in possession of a phony license they might try to argue moral turpitude.
you may want to hire a lawyer in your area of the city to look into this and talk to the agency investigating.
