What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? NC.
Last night I was with a bad crowd, you know the people who drink a lot… So here’s what happened… Everyone was drunk, including me. So all the sudden someone decided that they wanted to go for a ride, and they did. Only they took my truck. I went along with them (I WAS NOT DRIVING) They ended up hitting a mail box and a fire hydrant. When we arrived back at their house the cops was there. Two people got out of my truck; I didn’t know what the hell was going on so I sat right where I was. The passenger seat. Next thing I knew the cop comes pulled me out of the truck and cuffed me for a dui and said that I hit the mail box and the hydrant, that there was wittiness. So I was took to jail and charged for a dui. The people I were with told the cop’s that I was the one who hit the mailbox and I was so drunk that they had to drive home, The cop took their word for it.
I was not driving the truck. So when I got out of jail and sobered up I went and talked to the wittiness, I was nice and polite and straight up ask them who were driving my truck, they both said NOT YOU. Which is correct because I wasn’t behind the wheel of the truck. I do not drink and drive. The other lady said they seen the cop arrest me and that she called 911 and told them they had the wrong person, She said the person who hit it had black hair and was skinny, Well I have brown hair and I’m almost 300 pounds.… The cop made a mistake by taking me to jail….With this being said and the wittiness saying that I really wasn’t the one driving the truck can I get out of this? I did nothing wrong other than being in that truck, I should not have even gone but I did. I know it was stupid of me to let them drive my truck and I’ll never do it again. But the point here is I wasn’t driving and they said they will do written statements or whatever I need them too because they know it wasn’t me who did it. So I have two questions, 1. She said she called 911 when the cop left with me, and told them it was the wrong guy that was going to jail. Will they be able to get a record of this? To prove in court that I wasn’t the one driving And my second question, If its proven that I wasn’t the one driving will the charges be dropped?
