Most Chula Vista California juveniles and parents are not aware of Chula Vista underage drinking laws and how they apply. In general, any minor can be arrested for Chula Vista MIP whether they are in actual possession of alcohol or drugs, or not. Anything from the presence of alcohol or a controlled substance in their body, to exhibiting the signs of being under the influence or even being a situation where alcohol is present can result in Chula Vista CA MIP charges. MIP (between the ages of 13 and 20) is a gross misdemeanor punishable by:
A violation of underage drinking laws, a youthful indiscretion such as Chula Vista CA drug possession or distribution or any arrest of a minor can also impact admission to college, qualifying for financial aid, or finding a job or place to live. Multiple offenses, or more serious charges such as Chula Vista vehicular homicide involving alcohol can result in felony charges and even worse consequences such as lengthy prison terms.
