disturbance of the public peace charge on PBJ

[nosirnotme]

What is the name of your state? MD
I was punched by a stranger on the way out of a club. both me and the other guy were escorted out of the place by the bouncers. when i went outside, i saw the guy and wanted to know why he hit me. obviously, i was mad, but i am not stupid and going to hit someone and get charged for assault. i just wanted to know why the guy hit me. i went up to the guy and asked, "are you the guy who hit me?" then, the guy punched me again. i was arrested by the police for "disturbance of the public peace." they did not get the other guy. i think he may have ran off. i was a victim in this case and was arrested. i did not know who the other guy was, so i could not press assault charges against him. how should i fight this misdemeanor charge? i went to the club alone (via taxi) and i do not know anyone i could call as a witness in my defense. i am currently on a pbj (probation before judgement) for a first time DUI offense. will this charge affect the pbj?

Well, not much to say. You say you and the other guy was escorted out of the bar. For what? That should have been the end of it, Oh but no, the beer muscles took over and you had to walk over and confront him. Now what? Well seek the advise of an attorney. Hind sight is 20/20, but you should have called the police when you got outside and turned it over to law enforcement.
