Drinking Citation


What is the name of your state? I live in Wilmington, North Carolina and I received a drinking ticket last weekend. The officer did not breathalyze me, wrote my age down wrong and the wrong color of my eyes. He also didn't write any details of what happened (I was paying for a cab with no drink or probable cause that I had been drinking). What should I do? Do I need a lawyer? I am a nursing major (and a guy at that) and I really don't have time for this or need it to go on my record.

Masterfully stating the obvious to the oblivious! (Thanks SP!)

Tell it like it is! When all else fails, make up a statistic!

Gender references shall apply equally to the other gender. I will not correct gender mistakes (unless I want to)

Thats all that is on my ticket. He marked a box with possessing a malt beverage underage. Thats it. I have a North Carolina Uniform Citation in my hand with nothing else written on it besides my personal information of which some is incorrect.
