Drinking Citation

[Fielding]

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.

What were you cited with?

 

[Fielding]

The officer marked that I posses a malt beverage

Ok, I'll give it one more try.
What, EXACTLY were you cited with?

 

[Fielding]

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.

Pay your ticket and sin no more...

 

[Fielding]

Will paying the fine not affect my record?
