What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? California (Spec. San Jose)
Last Friday I went to downtown San Jose with my friends and had a few drinks. Last thing I remember was leaving the club to go across the street to meet up with another group of friends. Next thing I know is that I was awake in the police station cuffed to a chair and puke on my shoes. When they released me they had told I was to appear in court for Drunk In Public, PC647 F.
I have never been arrested before in my life. What is the most likely outcome of this incident? Will there be a way for me to come away with some kind of deal with the DA or Judge where I won't have anything on my record? I have learned my lesson and have had trouble sleeping and eating due to this. (Hard to believe but very true, I have dropped 5 pounds.) Any guidance or help would be appreciated. And I WILL be there for my court appearance.
I am also willing to do whatever it takes for me to get these charges dropped or dismissed. I am also a college student that probably could not afford a lawyer if needed as well.
