Bride Charged For Underage Drinking At Wedding Reception

One of Jennifer Windmeier’s wedding presents is helping her to battle a less welcome present she received shortly after she was married in February.

A Wheatland attorney is helping Windmeier fight a charge of being a minor in possession of an alcoholic beverage in a public place, a charge stemming from a drink she had at the age of 20 during her wedding reception.

Off-duty Deputy Sheriff John Matthews saw Windmeier drink a glass of wine with her husband at their wedding reception on Feb. 3.

On Feb. 21, about 18 days after her wedding, Windmeier was charged by Platte County Attorney John Robinson with being a minor in possession of an alcoholic beverage in a public place, a misdemeanor.
