File 2008 | The Roanoke Times

Peter Lalich was charged with unlawful alcoholic purchase and possession. The case against him was continued until July 21, 2009, at which point charges will be dropped if there is no recurrence.

Peter Lalich, the most experienced quarterback returning to Virginia’s football team this coming season, was in Charlottesville General District Court on Monday after being charged with unlawful alcoholic purchase and possession, a misdemeanor.

The case against Lalich was continued until July 21, 2009, at which point charges will be dropped if there is no recurrence. Court costs of $71 will be due on that date.

Lalich received a summons on the alcohol charge July 13, just over a month after he was found guilty in absentia in Charlottesville General District Court for failure to obey a traffic signal.

At the time he was stopped, Lalich did not have a driver’s license or registration in his possession and was required to pay a $100 fine and $61 in court costs.

The traffic conviction was the second of 2008 for Lalich, found guilty in Albemarle County General District Court of failure to obey a highway sign.
