Q: I was given a notice to appear for a misdemeanor of possession of alcohol by an underage, but also a number for PTI
I was given a number to call for a PTI program and was told I was probably going to be accepted because I have no tickets or anything. I know this is a good option for me I’m just wondering what the whole process is and how much money it will be. I live in Tallahassee, FL and I’m 19 years old. The charge is for possession of alcohol by an underage person and I’ve never had any other citations or charges ever, I’ve never even been pulled over.
A: Simply call the number and you will find iut
A: The program offers you an opportunity to have all charges dropped. It will require community service hours, classes, alcohol testing, an admission of guilt and fees. You should take advantage of this opportunity especially if you are guilty of the charge.
