What is the name of your state? Texas
Hi about yesterday at 2am i was sitting the back of a pickup truck with another and was pulled over by campus police at UTSA the officer informed us that it was dangerous to be riding the back of a pickup and proceeded to take all our drivers license and asked what we've been drinking. my friend next to me admitted to drinking 1 beer from a keg and when he asked what i drank today i simply said fruit juice. the driver was 21 and was not over the limit so he didnt recieve any fines. My friend however recieved a citation for Consumption by a minor and i was given a citation i thought for a traffic violation for riding in the back of the truck but it turns out when i got home it was for minor in consumption and it stated " said he drank beer from a keg" which i never said.as soon as i saw that it was the wrong crime i immediately called to no avail but the next day i went to the police station to get a dispatch report explaining my case to prove as soon as i saw the error i went to question it i was wondering would it be wise to fight this in court with or without a lawyer?? or just give in a plead guilty im a poor college student and was wondering the severity of the crime ie on auto insurance, college reputation for grad school scholarships etc.
p.s would any of this evidence help?
i went to receive a dispatch report to prove that as soon as i saw the error i reported it immediately
i have the cellphone logs of my attempt to contact campus police as soon as i foudn the error
witness statements from my buddy that stated i never stated "drank beer from a keg"
also copy of buddies ticket that states " said he drank beer from a keg" ( would help prove officer was careless and just issued 2 of the same tickets w/o listening)
thank you any help would be greatly appreciated i am scared and confused as i have never been in this kind of situation before.
