Teens In Apartment Complex Across The Street Claiming We Supplied Them With Alcohol. Should We Get A Lawyer?
We are a professional couple with kids living in Oregon. We live across from midsize affordable housing complex.
We give a single mother with a young child our used, empty cans so she can recycle them for cash.
We were greeted by two police today claiming there was an incident involving teens, drunk driving and destruction of property and that the teens are claiming WE supplied them with the alcohol.
We did not. I have never spoken to anyone from this complex other than the one mother who has a preschool age child. No teens.
We have given her a trash bag of empty cans about 8-9 times. Occasionally there are empty cider or beer cans but it’s mostly soda or carbonated flavored water.
We have our statements and obviously denied we supplied anyone with any alcohol. We won’t be donating these cans to anyone, but especially anyone in the complex.
What should our next steps be? Neither of us have ever had any legal issues. We don’t want the headache of dealing with this with two young kids around the holidays.
Should we hire a lawyer?
TIA
