Can a minor get charged as an adult?

for possesion of narcotics in school grounds hes 17 right now turning 18 in a month?


    




firewomen
That certainly has happened many times. Could happen in your case since you are so close to being 18.


Father Juan
yes


The Yeti
unlikely, since this is a very minor crime. (it is a misdemeanor offense right?)


Jt
yes depending on the crime

Yes, it depends on the crime committed. But, yes they do it here all of the time. If they kill someone or do something really bad then yes.


tallerfella
It can happen. Depends on the amount...........


Asuan Yousei-Chan
He very well could be or they would chage him and he would go to juvi till he turns 18 then starit to prision. it depends on his record if he's a good kid and htis is his first offence he might get off easy if he's a kid with a record not a chance in hell.

Depends on the amount and if the person is a student or not.
Most people arrested on student grounds are by campus police and no matter the age, it is the age at the time of offense the person is charged.

I would not see this being charged as an adult.


Free2Pee
yeah, depends on the seriousness of the crime

well it depends if he was getting high off them or actually using them for a reason. but doing drugs on school grounds is illegal. so yeah you could be charged as an adult.
