I have a question about a public intoxication charge. I was driving my girlfriend and her friend around one night last month, I was pulled over by an off duty officer working a side job for a construction site, I had consumed a few drinks earlier in the evening. The off-duty officer called an on duty officer to the scene. He ran my license and took me to jail for a warrant. My girlfriend and her friend had been drinking also, but neither one was intoxicated, they both were taken for public intoxication. I was not charged with anything, i paid my warrant at the courthouse and left. My girlfriend and her friend were taken to the jail with no field sobriety test administered. Once at the jail they both blew and had a .04 BAC and were released. My girlfriend has court this week for the charge, obviously she is going to plead not guilty but should I disclose what I was taken to jail for? Or should we argue that she was wrongfully detained???
