Up to a year in Santa Monica jail

Loss of Santa Monica drivers license for a year or until age 17 on a first offense, and for two years or until age 18 on a second offense

A violation of underage drinking laws, a youthful indiscretion such as Santa Monica drug possession or distribution or any arrest of a minor can also impact admission to college, qualifying for financial aid, or finding a job or place to live.
