2 Cases: Possession of Alcohol by a Minor and Consumption of Alcohol by a Minor
The following information was supplied by the Geneva Police Department. Where arrests or charges are mentioned, it does not indicate a conviction.
What's the difference between possession of alcohol by a minor and consumption of alcohol by a minor? In this case, an arrest and court appearance versus a citation and fine.
Here are the two items from the Geneva police blotter:
