Facts:
My client was at Goodnight John Boy in downtown St. Pete when he went outside. He was not allowed back in despite the fact that his friends were still inside. As he began to explain the situation to the security guards, the police stationed outside were alerted and arrested him. He was charged with disorderly intoxication and brought to the Pinellas County Jail.
The Case:
It was a relatively straightforward case that I had handled countless times before. I did not think that my client needed to do much, just be patient. I wrote a letter to the prosecutor explaining the circumstances and asking for it to be dismissed. I felt like the night in jail was sufficient punishment and enough of a wake up call.
The Result:
About a month after my client was arrested, the prosecutor dropped the charges.
