Somebody representing the prosecuting agency has to be present. It would most likely be the charging officer, not the DA in an underage drinking case.

Answer 2

the state is always represented with a prosecutor, whether it is municipal,county or state court. Most likely there will be a prosecutor there.

Answer 3

probably not the DA; he's usually busy off in the shadows taking bribes. they will usually send the newbe assistant DA to cover general arraignments.
