If I received a minor in possession of an open container of alcohol in a vehicle, do I have a chance of fighting it and Winning?
The bottle had no alcohol in it. I believe it got there after recycling some bottles and one may have fallen out.

If the police officer that cited you for having possession of an alcoholic beverage in your possession as a minor did not take the item into evidence, then you have a good chance of fighting the charge and succeeding. I suggest that you consult with a criminal defense attorney in your locality for help. Ine can be found on attorneypages.com.
