What is the name of your state? Texas
I was arrested last weekend for Public Intoxication. We were dropping friends off at their vehicles after spending a few hours at the club, and after eating breakfast at IHOP. I was a passenger in the vehicle, and the officer asked me to exit the vehicle for no reason. I politely declined, stating that I knew my rights, and asking the reason he wanted me to exit. He demanded 3 times that I exit the vehicle, then he opened the door, grabbed me by the arm, and twisted it behind my head. He then yanked me from the car, cuffed me, and took me to jail. He used excessive force, and I had the police officers at the jail take pictures of my arm, where there is still a large, hand-shaped bruise. Was I wrong? Did I do something to deserve that treatment, and should I really have been charged with a PI? I was never tested, field or breath, and never told I was being arrested or why....please help?
