What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? Denver, Colorado
On 06/12/09 i was at a friends house drinking with only a hand full of people. The homeowner had received several noise complaints before and this night appeared to be no different. At about 4 am, the police showed up for the second time that night. I am unsure as to how the police got into the house, but they went up stairs to where we were and handcuffed my friend right in his bedroom. The police then told everyone else to leave and we did. Everyone walked through the back door and waited outside for a moment. We watched the police take the home owner out through the front door. I then walked back into the house through the back door and walked up to the front door. As they were walked away i asked the police what the home owner was being arrested for and without a word or hesitation the police charged through the front door to tackle me and handcuff me. One cop took me to his car, asked me my name. I refused to answer anything at this time and the cop told me i could go to jail for a couple days for being a John Doe. After 20-30 minutes, another police officer showed up and I told this one that I had only asked the cops why they were arresting the homeowner. They continued to pull my chain and took me to a cell for a few hours and let me walk out with an 'Interference' ticket.
I have court in a few days, is there anything I should be worried about or anything I can do to prepare? Would a witness help? I dont have any money for a lawyer so im hoping that my honesty can hold up. But I fear I will need more than my word to get by without any damage.
