An Aggressive Defense Makes a Difference

The implications of a public intoxication charges are pretty vile. One night of celebration can turn into a serious blemish on your character. Instead of remembering the event as a high-spirited night out, you are known as a sloppy drunk. A few laughs are described as stumbling guffaws. The fact is, the charges based on interpretation, to some degree. Having a legal team that understands this and that is willing to put forth a hard-hitting defense can mean the difference between conviction and dismissal of these kinds of charges.

Mitigating Potential Charges

Proving public intoxication requires the prosecutor to demonstrate several key factors. If our talented legal team can undermine just one of them, you could be off the hook. Consider the legal requirements under Pennsylvania law associated with the charge:

Police must have observed an individual who was under the influence of alcohol or drugs:The issue of intoxication is relatively easy to determine, as law enforcement officers can observe that you have been consuming alcohol or perform tests to determine your blood alcohol level. Even prescription medications, if taken improperly or without a prescription, may be deemed illegal.
The individual must have createda disturbance:If, after consuming drugs or alcohol, the individual became loud or obnoxious, or became threatening in any way, it could be considered public intoxication. Specifically, the law says a person must have endangered himself or others, or annoyed people in the locale.
The incident must have occurred in a public location:If the individual was in a restaurant, bar, parking lot, sidewalk, or any other public space, the final component of a public intoxication charge will have been met.
