Legal Question in Criminal Law in Alabama
disorderly conduct
I was recently arrested while walking drunk down an
alley. I was walking with a friend who was ahead of
me. He had hid behind a dumpster to relieve himself
and then a cop pulled up in front of me. While I was
being arrested, I began yelling for my friend, but he
never showed himself. Because he was visiting from
Salt Lake, he was afraid he was going to get a ticket
for unrinating in public. My question is, how do go
about proving that I was in the care of my friend who
only had 4 beers and was taking me home. The thing is...
he lives in Utah, and I'm in Wyoming.

Re: disorderly conduct
The question is not how do you prove that you were in the care of a friend, but were you acting in a way that conforms to the disorderly conduct statute. Disorderly conduct statutes are broadly written. A jury trial is the best bet.
