What to do if I’m currently a college student and just got charged with public intoxication?
One night I was out with my boyfriend, clearly under the influence of alcohol. A cop came up to us and told my boyfriend to take me inside so I wouldnt get in trouble. However, my boyfriend of 3 years, was being slightly aggressive in an attempt to snap me out of it so I wouldnt get in trouble. Unfortunately, the cop then assumed that he was trying to take advantage of me. Even as my boyfriend told him that he was calling me a cab and that we truly were a couple, the cop still decided he needed to arrest me and take me to jail. I was charged with public intoxication and underage possession. when i was 16 I got a DUI. What can I do to fight this or what is going to happen since this is my 2nd offense?

Hello. You need to contact an attorney licensed in YOUR state. You should not post details of yor private criminal issues on a public website. Some attorneys are available seven days for emergency legal needs. Many attorneys will speak initially at no charge. Then, if legal work is performed, some attorneys will provide a reduced fee for financial hardship. Some attorneys may also assist you in a limited scope manner to conserve legal costs. All the best.
