A lawyer in Tuscaloosa County recently filed a class action lawsuit against the city of Tuscaloosa claiming that the police of the city illegally arrested many underage persons for drinking without adequate proof. The lead plaintiff in the case was arrested when she was under 21 for allegedly being in possession of an alcoholic beverage, which is illegal by state law. However, the lawsuit filed by the Tuscaloosa County lawyer claims that the police officers did not take the drink the minor was holding as evidence and that the police did not gather enough evidence to make the charge stick. While awaiting class certification, the Tuscaloosa County lawyer is encouraging all those who have been arrested for underage drinking to come forward and possibly join the class action.
