I go to Ohio University and last Friday night I was charged with furnishing alcohol to two 19 year olds. What happened was I drove to BP with these two friends. I went and bought alcohol and drove back to my apartment. Undercover cops followed us and pulled up next to us as I parked my car. We got out and had no idea these were undercovers. My friend was carrying the alcohol and the cops got out of their car and began questioning us. They separated us 3 so we couldn't speak to each other. They questioned my two friends first. When they began to question me, they said that they saw an exchange of money in the car before and after the alcohol purchase. This is completely false. There was an exchange of money but it was out of view. The undercovers said they saw these transactions through binoculars. In addition, the cops told me that my friends said that they gave me money to buy them beer. This is also a false statement that the officers made to me. During the questioning, I did not admit to anything and was very adamant about the alcohol being purchased for myself. Also, I was adamant that I financed the entire purchase. I also said that I was unaware of any law where someone who isn't 21 isn't allowed to carry a closed case of beer. I wrote a statement and neither of my two friends admitted to giving me money. Do I have a case here? I feel like what they did was illegal, considering they had no probable cause. How can they just assume that my friends weren't 21? If they were, couldn't that be a civil case against the officers? Also, is it legal for an officer to make up things to try to get me to admit guilt? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
