Can I get a public drunkenness citation because I walked away from the police?

default-avatar
Answered by attorney Joseph Briscoe Dane (Unclaimed Profile)
DUI/DWI lawyer at Law Office of Joe Dane
In order to convict you for public intoxication, they would have to prove that you were so intoxicated that you were unable to care for your own safety or the safety of others. From what you wrote, it sounds as though they tried to bluff you and they backed off. If they actually file charges on you in court, you'll need a lawyer, but this sounds like a very defensible case. Alternatively, you may have to worry about a charge of Penal Code 148.9 - resisting or delaying an officer. If you were lawfully detained for investigation and walked away and/or otherwise delayed their investigation, this charge could come into play. Again - you'd need a lawyer to defend you. I'd suggest you start researching local criminal defense attorneys so you're ready. If you have a citation with a court date, don't wait until the last minute. Often, a local attorney can make some calls and find out what the status of your case is.

Will a judge show leniency if the DUI charges are 6 and 1/2 years apart?

Answered by attorney Steven M Dodge (Unclaimed Profile)
DUI/DWI lawyer at The Law Office of Steven M. Dodge, PLLC
Without knowing who your judge is, it is impossible for me to answer this question. Sometimes a judge will demonstrate some leniency on these facts but not in all cases.
