He actually called me from the county jail about an hr away at 3 am and said "Mom, I'm in jail for a DUI.... don't suppose you'd want to come bail me out?" I said "You supposed right."
So he sat in jail till his hearing at 8 am and was led by 4 armed guards from his cell to the courtroom in shackles, an orange jumpsuit and flip flops 3 sizes too big. He said he was mortified. LOL Was the best thing that they could have done to him. To my knowledge he hasn't done it since.
He lost his license for a yr, and paid $2,700 worth of fines and court costs. I don't know which hurt more.
Some of his friends haven't learned that lesson yet though, so I do worry.
so alcohol has been found in each of the bodies? Sometimes they just like to make that assumption because of the age.

ugh, of course I did go through "the stage" when i was that age, but it was always in my own house. I just wish all the kids who think this is cool could see first hand what a life like this leads to. i saw a few in the nursing homes 9one was only 28) that drinking killed them. I think it should be court ordered to spend a day or so with someone like that for any drinking charge.
