Anyone under the age of 18 will be prosecuted as a juvenile and should not be put in adult jail, but rather will be subject to juvenile detention. Anyone 18 or over will face the same penalties as an adult over 21 in court in addition to the penalties for violation of the alcohol restriction on the under 21 year old’s drivers license.
