What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? Ohio
On New Year's Eve three of my friends and I were drinking at her dad's house and at 3:30am my former friend and her dad got into a fist fight. While trying to break up the fight I got a broken arm, left arm, two inches above wrist. The EMS was called because my former friend beat up her dad pretty well, officers came as well and asked my name and if we all had been drinking. Everyone admitted we had been drinking and I was pretty intoxicated since I was spending the night, it didn't matter how much I drank. The officers asked all four of us to go to my house, which is 3 miles away and asked if I could call a taxi. I called a taxi and when it arrived, I asked how much it would cost, we didn't have enough money so i sent the taxi away, we couldn't pay for it. Officer stated one of my friends could take us home and as we left, I had my house keys in my car, so we turned around to get my keys and I got into my vehicle. My car had been stolen before in the same complex and since I was leaving it unattended, I wanted to move it in a well lit area in the private property apartment complex. I moved my car less than a 1000 feet and one of the cops that was at the domestic violence incident pulled me over. Asked me what I was doing, I told him moving my car, he said no i wasn't and arrested me for DUI. All my former friends went back into the house we were originally asked to leave. My friend never got arrested for beating up her father, this is the second fight she has gotten into in 8 months where nothing has happened to her. He originally made a statement on 1/2/09, which i never saw,I plead not guilty on 1/5/09, then the officer amended his statement on 1/7/09 after I pleaded not guilty and stated he allowed my friend who had been drinking to drive us home because he deemed her more sober then the rest of us and admitted he was waiting for "the female known as Jennifer S*** to get into her vehicle". I hired a lawyer, they did a motion to suppress, which was denied and now the officer amended his report once again stating I was intoxicated and because I admitted I had been drinking earlier that was enough probable cause and he had probable cause to pull me over. Stating they will subpeona the taxi cab driver to point me out that I asked him to leave and that my arm was not broken, even though I had a hard cast on for three weeks and another three weeks in a removeable cast, since when I was talking on the tape I was using my hands like I always do. They edited the tape, but I don;t have money to hire an expert to prove this. They are trying to throw the book at me and I am unsure if I should get another lawyer. I have court on March 24th and already they want me in jail for 10 days. I don't know what to do.
