1Opinion of the Court
Hines, Justice.
This Court granted certiorari to the Court of Appeals in Shaver v. City of Peachtree City, 253 Ga. App. 212 (558 SE2d 409) (2002), to determine whether the Court of Appeals correctly held that a uniform traffic citation, see OCGA § 40-13-1 and the Rules of Department of Public Safety, Rule 570-19-.01, cannot be used as a charging instrument for the non-traffic offense of underage possession of alcohol. See OCGA § 3-3-23 (a) (2). The Court of Appeals was incorrect in holding that the uniform traffic citation in this case could not be so used. Accordingly, we reverse.
