Hi:
It was my buddies birthday so we went out to celebrate. I had about 2-3 drinks in about a three hour period. I'm a 160 pound male. He had a lot more (8+). I'm 20, and he's 18. We left the bar and arrived at my buddies house at 2:30-ish. I drove to get some food, and waited it out until about 4. Then I drove home after clearing any traces of alcohol in my system.
I dropped my friend and his car off at his house, and started walking to my house (almost two miles away). Then all of the sudden, I see him driving off in his car. I knew he wasn't good to drive at all, so I ran after him but couldn't catch up. So I called a couple of my friends to help me look for him before he does anything he'd regret. We searched for an hour or two, and couldn't find him.
The next morning, I heard he wrecked his car in his subdivision. He drove into a ditch. Somehow, he got out of the driver's seat and into the backseat, and passed out there. The cops gave impounded his car and gave him a MIP (I guess because they couldn't prove he drove).
I took every precaution to practice safe driving. I also have a clear license, and turn 21 in a few months.
I was told that the cops were investigating this. Now I have these questions:
1.) Could I get into any legal problems?
2.) Could they go back and give me a DUI without even pulling me over? (Keep in mind I had little to no alcohol in my system).
3.) Could they also change my friend's charge from a MIP to a DUI?
4.) Could my friend who bought the drinks for us (he's 21), get into any legal trouble?
Thanks a lot guys!
