Re: Public drunkenness
Being drunk in public is still, I believe, in the
category of D.C. offenses which may be disposed of
by appearing in court and agreeing to forfeit collateral if one has been posted or to pay over a fine of somewhere, probably, between $10 and $30 and in return the charge is dismissed.
