What kind of offense is minor in possession of alcohol?

[Edit]

Answer

It is just a civil offense. It isn't considered a misdemeanor and will not show up on a background check on the first or second offense. In Maine you can pay off the fine before having your court date to eliminate going to court. On the first offense it's a $250 fine.
