Public Intox Charge
I'm sorry, guess I didn't explain too well. I am from Indiana, I was a passenger in my car, the guy driving was my brother in law, there was not another car involved, it was icy and he lost control and hit a pole. They did a breathalyzer on him and he failed. They never did a breathalyzer on me but charged me with public intoxication, they said that I was lying about the accident. The driver said a car ran him off the road, I did not see anything, I was looking in my purse at the time, next thing I knew we were spinning around and hit the pole on my side of the car. It totaled the car, cops never even asked me if I was ok, just started screaming at me, never called an ambulance or anything. So, they arrested me because they said I was lying about the accident, I just told them what he told me. I just don't know how they can arrest me without any kind of tests, they have nothing to back up the charge. I go to court next month and don't know whether I should try to hire a lawyer or just go and accept the charge. Just doesn't seem right to me.
