Texas,
I am a 20 year old college student that recieved an citation for minor in consumption. I had not been drinking but almost all of my friends who were present had been. We were at a house having a party and I walked outside to get my phone out of my pickup. When I turned the corner a police officer was standing on the other side of the fence. He told me to walk towards the house and forced me to open the door. The rest of the officers then enterd once I had opened the door. I was given a pen test, put in cuffs, and hauled to the county jail for the night. I was never in possesion of alcohol and was never given a breathalyzer. Nor did I admit to drinking. When I appeared before the jusdge I plead not guilty. On the 19th of this month I have a meeting with the city attourney to discuss my charge. I need to know how I can get across to the city attourney that I had not been drinking. I feel like because I did not admit to drinking and that I was not administrated a breathalyzer that they had no legitimate reason to charge me. I really need some advice. If I dont get this thrown out I am going to lose my privelege to drive. That is not an option. I have to be able to get to school and work. Will someone PLEASE give me some advice on what to do. I would greatly appreciate it.
