Parents who allow minors in their control, or in a place under their control (main residence, beach house), to consume alcohol are facing a Class D crime, meaning that it is punishable by up to 364 days in jail and\/or a fine of up to $2,000. If the minor is less than 18 years old, then there is a mandatory fine of not less than $1,000 (for a first offense).<\/p>\n<p>If a minor is found illegally transporting alcohol, they can face a fine up to $500 as well as have their driver&#8217;s license suspended for 30 days (again, assuming a first offense). Lastly, a minor found to have any alcohol at all in their bloodstream while driving (OUI Under 21) can have their license suspended for a year if the minor is alone in the vehicle &#8211; or two and a half years if they have a passenger under 21 in the car. They can then face even harsher punitive action if they are a .08 BAC or above.<\/p>\n<div class=\"read_more_link\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.webblawmaine.com\/blog\/oui-under-21-years-of-age-saco-me-portland-me-criminal-lawyer\/\"  title=\"Continue Reading OUI Under 21 Years of Age &#8211; Saco and Portland ME Criminal Lawyer\" class=\"more-link\">Continue Reading \u203a<\/a><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>By Saco ME and Portland ME OUI Super Lawyer John S.
