You are basically SOL.

First thing, you shouldn't have ran, Stand up and take it like a man.

Secondly, doesn't matter if your friend put it there or not. It is in "YOUR" car.

Best bet is to try and get community service out of it. You can blame your friend all you want but it will not matter because you are underage and the beer was in your car.

Basically this is all you can really do:
If the car is registered to your parents and they agree to say they left the beer there and you took the car then you have a defense.

If the car is registered to you then you are in violation of the code. If convicted, you could be looking at a $1,000 fine and up to six months in jail, plus have your driver's license suspended for up to one year.

Get rid of your friend
