Understanding Public Intoxication
Public intoxication is a charge that can have serious consequences if you are convicted. The statutes are broadly written, making it easy for law enforcement to arrest individuals who are found outside of their homes or businesses under the influence of drugs or alcohol.
It’s important to be aware of the potential consequences of public intoxication, especially if you already have a history of alcohol-related offenses. Even if you have a designated driver and are not behind the wheel, you can still be arrested for public intoxication if law enforcement determines that you are under the influence.
Protecting Yourself from PI Charges
To protect yourself from public intoxication charges, it’s important to be mindful of where and how you consume alcohol. Avoid drinking in public spaces where law enforcement may be present, and always have a plan to get home safely without any incidents.
If you find yourself facing a public intoxication charge, it’s crucial to seek legal help as soon as possible. An experienced attorney can help you navigate the legal process and work toward the best possible outcome for your case.
