One of the most interesting and exciting times in a person’s life is when (s)he leaves home, usually for the first time, in order to seek a higher education. As all of us who have experienced college life can recall, it is a time filled with new friendships and challenges. Unfortunately, on occasion those new friendships and/or challenges can place a young person in awkward and untenable positions. In new surroundings and at times far from home for the first time in his/her young life, a young person can occasionally make poor choices.
From Minors in Possession of Alcohol to Possession of Drugs to Driving Under the Influence, our local College Students at Georgia Southern University, East Georgia State College, and/or Ogeechee Technical College can face criminal charges that can lead to significant legal and scholastic punishments. Specifically, depending upon the arresting agency, a student arrested for any offense can face criminal charges in one of Bulloch County’s Courts, along with potential adverse consequences for violation of a Student Conduct Code at that Student’s college/university.
