FORT WALTON BEACH, FL / ACCESSWIRE / March 11, 2019 / ASG Legal has advised visitors participating in the 2019 Okaloosa County Spring Break to stay on the safe side of the law, but they also have pledged to provide legal counsel and representation to students who are arrested during the spring break period.
Two notable attorneys at ASG Legal, Timothy W. Shaw and Jay Patel, have announced that they will offer their legal expertise to students and visitors who get in trouble during the Okaloosa County Spring Break. Students celebrating during their holidays can often get carried away, which is why the law firm advises that suitable precautions be taken. Furthermore, the Okaloosa County Sheriff has strictly instructed his deputies to arrest individuals found in violation of Florida State statutes during the spring break period. This can potentially lead to a lot of arrests during Spring Break.
Among the statutes and ordinances that students need to be particularly mindful of are possession of alcohol under the age of 21, disorderly conduct while drunk, possession or consumption of alcohol in a public place such as a county park, having an open house party, carrying a glass container in a public park, having pets outside, and lighting fires/fireworks. Those interested in more details regarding these statutes can read more in this article.
