What happens if I get a MIP citation though the mail and I’m on a diversion contract?

The incident of possibly getting an MIP was during February at a party. I got breathylzed and blew a 1.5. 5 months later, my friends are getting MIP citations through mail. And I’m afraid I’ll be next to get mine though the mail. But before that incident, I got caught with marijuana 7 months ago and I signed a diversion contract 2 months later. Since this might be my second offense, will it break my diversion contract because this 2nd offense happened before I signed the contract? What happens?

From what you have written since you are presently on diversion with respect to a prior criminal incident involving a controlled substance, IF you receive a citation filed at any time during the diversion period, most likey you would be deemed in violation of your diversion contract.

I suggest that you carefully read the contract and consider consulting with a criminal defense attorney about your matter concerning a possible minor in possession (MIP) of alcohol charge.
