What is the name of your state? Maryland
Over the weekend I had some friends over for a Halloween party and alcohol was being served. I knew the cops were going to come Ive dealt with them 4 times before coming to my place because of my neighbor across the street who hates me living there so when she sees more then 2 cars in my driveway she flips out and calls the police. Nobody hears noise in the whole area but her. I have asked all the other neighbors. She just looks outside and sees us, not hear us, and calls the police EVERY TIME. The place I was at was my fathers warehouse where we keep supplies for jobs. The cop pulled up while I was outside talking to a friend. I didn't panic and neither did my friend. I am 23 and he was 21 and my girlfriend who was by me was 23. I walked up to him nicely in my driveway and talked to him and told my girlfriend to go get my ID. He asked if there was any underage drinking and I said "no sir". Then he came up to my half open garage door (which I used to go in and out) and said "Okay well let me in". I said "you cant come in without a warrant or unless you think somebody is hurt sir". He said " I don't need a warrant, You either let me in or your going to jail". I said "You need a F_____ warrant to come into my F_____ng place. I have had cops here before and they said ok and just left cause I didnt let them in". So I screwed up there talking to a cop that way but he insisted to come into my place and I told him he couldn't and he was being arrogant with me. So I turned around and got cuffed. While he was walking me to his car my neighbor across the street (the one that always calls the cops on me) was out there watching me get arrested. I yelled at her "Are you happy now you old bitch!?". So the cop put me in the back of the cruiser for saying "f___" to him 2 times. So the cop went inside my place and saw 2 girls in there that were 20 and not of age. The cop was inside saying "I'm here because I don't like alcohol I hate it" my friends were telling me. So two other cruisers show up but DON'T go in my place. The one cop knew my brother (who showed up when all this happened) and the cop basically got me out of the cuffs and away from going to jail for the night. The cop who initially arrested me said "Okay I found 2 Underage people drinking in there I could give you fines for them but I'm not going to". Instead, the cop gave me something that looks like a speeding ticket saying " Disturbance of the Peace" and "Disorderly Conduct". He said I will get a court date in the mail and I was free to go.
Okay now with all that said here are my questions.
Thank you and any help is greatly appreciated. I have no record on me other than traffic violations which were nothing serious.

Okay now with all that said here are my questions.
- Was the cop legally allowed in my house?
- Do I need a lawyer in court for this?
- Will I have to pay court fees for this?
- What is the worst that can happen to me in court?
- Was me getting arrested necessary?
