Will depend on local ordinance.Check first with local authorities and police.Even if you don't serve alcohol,You are still liable to all the rules and conditions by allowing consumpsion on your premises.Especially those that rules to protect minors.Beware that nudity and drugs are two sides of same coin

The police will probably give you a "breathalizer" test to check if you have alcohol in your system. As you contend, you didn't actually drink, but was just holding an open beer can. You'll probably be ticketed and be asked to appear with your guardian before a Judge. This may just be a misdemeanor since you didn't actually drink but were just playing a prank.

after being AWOL for 30 days, an arrest warrant is issued.  This means if you EVER try and get a federal loan, job or even pulled over for running a stop sign, you will be arrested and the military notified that you arte in carcerated(with no chance at bail, BTW).  The Army can then decide to take their sweet time coming to get you.  \n\nyou can get anything from an OTH discharge to time in the stockade to the death penalty.

Providing that the child has had no reason to be in home detention because of his parents then there are no reasons why you should not be able to visit.  Get legal advice.  You can sue.

An officer of the court or a police officer can deliver the papers.  You have to sign for them to certify that you received them.  Call your lawyer or at least the court to reschedule the court date before you go on vacation.  You DO NOT want to miss a court date for a traffic violation!  If you fail to appear a warrant will be issued for your arrest and you could spend your vacation in a local jail.

Look at the summons you received. There should be info on it about how to contact them in the event that you are unable to serve or no longer reside in that state.

You'll have to find out if you're driver's license is under suspension.  They usually do that if there's a warrant.  If you don't drive then there are two things that you can do.  1.)  Think.  Why would there be a warrant for your arrest?  If you can think of even one answer then, there probably is.  2.)  Call the damn station but,it's always best to use a public phone outside of the area in which you reside (I have no idea what the hell you did).  If the officer tells you that you'll have to come in for that info, be suspicious.  If you do have a warrant, let them take you in whenever you get bored on the outside.  And, don't sign a f*****g thing until you read it.

Usually a "failure to appear" warrant will not result in jail time unless you have many prior failure to appears and they can show a pattern or if the failure to appear is on a serious felony crime or a crime in witch you are out on bail. Now either way it will be better for you to turn yourself in. However do not turn yourself in on a friday as this may result in sitting in jail until monday. Also I would call the court clerk and try to reschedule an appearance before I turned my self in to show that you did make an effort. Oh yea it is also bad if the appearance is for sentencing. They really frown on ditching accountability. In addition by turning yourself in you avoid all the hassle of having your car towed away and impounded if you are pulled over while drving. Don't panic! Especially if this is a minor offense. The courts and jails are so jammed up with truly bad people they have no time or room to lock people up for minor offenses. Even if it seems really bad to you. I assume that it is minor because you don't seem to have much experience dealing with the law. I personally have been pulled over with a valid warrant and the officer just cited and released me. However I have also seen people get hauled in friday night and have to wait til the offices open up Monday morning to be released with nothing more than a new court date. Anyways good luck and stay low until Monday.

yea... your best bet is to contact the court.  And it depends on the state whether or not its manditatory to show up or not.  Chances are if you don't show up the judge will issue a bench warrant for you in that state.  So... it's in your best interest to show up for court.  Especially since you were FLYING!

You will more than likely have to pay for the damages that you did and have to do some kind of community service; you may also have to go to jail also, although they will put you in juvenile detention and now you will also have a criminal record. Good job...I think what you and your friends did is totally uncalled for and you deserve whatever the Judge gives you. Maybe you'll think twice about it the next time you're going to do something that stupid!

I would end up in jail.

Typically, they will have no idea that you have a warrant.  When getting a license they do not run a criminal history check on you. However, and this is the catcher, if your license has been suspended for failure to pay a fine, or failure to appear, rest assured they will check to see if the situation has been remedied.

20 years ago in CA, the procedure was to issue a bench-warrant for your arrest, with a mailed notice.  This could be cleared up with a check-in-the-mail.  No court appearance was ever necessary.\n\nUnderstand that if the cops have you in custody and a warrant check comes up positive, you'll probably be answering some additional questions in a more comfortable location.\n\nGet in touch with the court clerk in the county where you failed to appear, and ask what the procedure is.  Don't be afraid - they'll be very nice to you.

Depends on the country, or state.  In Canada, and in some states, it would potentially lead to a charge of obstructing justice.  Obstruction of justice can lead to jail if you are convicted.
