Marietta, GA MIP

Nearly every day in the Marietta, GA area, young people under the age of 21 get arrested or receive citations from Marietta or Cobb County law enforcement officers for Minor in Possession of Alcohol ( MIP ) offenses.  Sometimes these charges are referred to as Underage Consumption or Possession of Alcohol charges.  As most people know, it is illegal in Cobb County, Georgia for people under the age of 21 to possess or consume alcoholic beverages of any kind or quantity.  A Marietta officer can arrest you if he has probable cause to believe that were drinking.  The most common scenario is when officers come out to a party or initiate a traffic stop and there are several teenagers present who all have consumed alcohol.  To deny drinking or resist law enforcement officers may also lead the alleged MIP offender to be charged with obstruction of a law enforcement officer in Marietta or Cobb County State Court.
