Irvine, Orange County - Three Irvine teens were arrested for drug crimes and allegedly accused of trying to purchase an uncontrolled substance and making a false police report. The three juveniles were trying to buy methamphetamines from a drug dealer. Instead of selling the teens the drugs, he punched one of them in the face, stole their money and ran. The boys then came up with a story to explain the mark that was on one of the juveniles face.
He told his parents that someone had robbed him and had stolen his money and his iPod. The parent then filed a police report on the robbery. The parents quickly learned that their son had given them false information. The three teenagers were arrested and released to their parents.
Southern California juvenile crime defense attorney, Michael Guisti, recently commented on this case. He states the juvenile cases are handled differently then adult cases. Juvenile cases records can be sealed and the sentencing is typically not as harsh as adult cases. However, a juvenile can be tried as an adult if they are over the age of 14 and have committed a violent crime. If the teenagers are convicted of trying to buy an uncontrolled substance they could be sentenced to do time in Juvenile Hall, and they might have to pay fines. There could also be additional fines for making a false police report.
