Resolved Question: What is the penalty for a minor to consume alcohol in a private residence, no adults present.?
a small party of 10 college students were in an appartment listening to music and drinking beer. Police came and had the 2 renters of the apt. take a breathalyzer which was positive (not enough to arrest an adult for dwi.) Driving was NOT involved. the other students were sent home in cabs ordered by the police. Shouldn’t the police have checked all the underage drinkers for alcohol and issued citations for them too? Why just the 2 renters? It was a quiet party, a neighbor turned them in. Oh yeah, Minnesota has a “zero” tolerance for underage drinking.
