Can I get a citation for underage consumption/possession of a malt beverage dropped?
I was recently convicted with underage consumption/ possession of a malt beverage. I have never been in any legal trouble before, not even a speeding ticket. Is there anyway I can get the citation dropped? And will it remain on my record?

If you have been charged with a criminal action with the underage consumption of alcohol and possession of a malt beverage, I recommend that you retain a criminal defense attorney to assist you in defending the action.
The way to possibly get the charge or charges dropped would be for you to enter into a plea agreement with the court for "court probation." If the court grants you such a type of probation and you satisfy its terms for a set period of time, as a result, the charge or charges that you have written about would be dropped.
