For some students, those goals can suddenly appear nearly impossible to achieve after they have been arrested.<\/p>\n<p>All criminal <a href=\"\/criminal-defense\/college-student-crimes\/\">charges filed against college students<\/a> are serious because they put academic pursuits and career ambitions in danger of never being realized. According to a university police report on arrests, the most common accusations involve alcohol and drugs.<\/p>\n<p>But according to last year&#8217;s University of Tennessee at Chattanooga\u2019s Annual Security and Fire Safety Report, there have also been a significant number of arrests on charges that include larceny\/theft, sexual offenses and assault in recent years.<\/p>\n<p>For instance, the report states that there were 359 liquor violations on campus in 2015 that resulted in disciplinary action. While that total dropped to 226 a year later, it rose again in 2017 to 304. Drug violations resulting in discipline surged from 68 in 2015 to 129 in both 2016 and 2017.<\/p>\n<p>In many of those cases, students faced not only discipline by the school but criminal charges as well. A DUI conviction can mean jail time, fines, mandatory counseling and loss of driving privileges. Felony drug charge convictions can result in prison, probation, fines and perhaps worst of all, a criminal record that can haunt the accused for the rest of their life.<\/p>\n<p>If you or a loved one is a student accused of a crime, it&#8217;s important to act quickly to protect the future.
