Minor in Possession in Overland Park, Kansas
MIP charges can result in a 30-day license suspension if the student pleads Guilty or is found Guilty at a trial. Therefore, I usually recommend doing diversion if diversion is offered. Generally, the accused can apply for and get diversion if they have clean record. The person must complete an alcohol class and stay clean from alcohol/drugs for the entire diversion period of 6- to 12-months. In some instances, the case should be taken to trial if the evidence is weak or the student does not qualify for diversion due to prior alcohol arrests.
