It depends on the misdemeanor charge. For a drunk in public charge, chances are they'll take you to jail to sober up andthenlet you go. For a loitering in public charge, if you haven't damaged or stolen anything, they'll check yourID for outstanding warrants and let you go with a misdemeanor citation. Rarely will they do extra work and mail you a ticket later on.

What is the penalty for Underage Possession of Alcohol in NY Is it a civil offense or more?

I personally got the same ticket in NYC, I was scared cause i was stopped by four undercover cops, but in the end it was just a 25 dollar ticket that i just had to mail to the court and my parents never found out. It is not a felony or misdemeanor, just a violation (the same as a speeding ticket). You may have to pay more if outside the city, but still just a violation and under new york state law a maximum penalty of up to $100, and maximum of 30 hours of community service if you actually have to go to court

Is it legal to send a ticket in the mail after 17 months?

It would be wise to call the Clerk of the Court or the Violations Bureau in the jurisdiction that issued the ticket to check. My adivce is to DO SO A.S.A.P., because, if it was a 'moving' violation, it is more than likely that there is an outstanding warrant in the system for your arrest for unpaid traffic fines.
