What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? South Dakota
I am 20 years old and was at South Dakota State University for their homecoming. I was with 4 friends and 2 of them were drinking, Me and another girl were sober and the other friend was 21. There were 2 backbacks with beer in them with our group but were only being consumed by the 3 friends who were drinking. We were walking into a dormitory when we got stopped by a resident assistant who made us show him what was in the backbacks. We tried to walk out when he grabbed on to a bag and pulled the kid back in the dorm. He opened the backbacks and found beer in them. He asked us for our I.D.'s and I showed him mine so he wrote down my information. He asked my friend for his I.D. and he didnt have his so the RA said he was going to call the cops. I got up and left thinking my friends would do the same because they were going to be in trouble. They decided not to leave with me. Before the cops got there I was gone. I never saw a cop or spoke to a cop the whole time., The cop gave my two friends minors and let the 21 year old and the girl off., It is now about 2-3 months later and I just recieved a letter in the mail saying I have a warrant for my arrest on a minor charge and it said I skipped a court date. I was never given a ticket or even talked to a cop., How can I fight this?, Can I get off of the charge considering no cop even talked to me and I was given no ticket. No cops were on site at the time I left.,
