Could I be found quilty for this?
A friend and I were coming back from Atlanta with my 5 year old son when we pulled into a gas station in Columbus Indiana. My friend was driving and he was not drinking. I purchased a 6 pack of beer back in Kentuky. My friend stopped to use the restroom and I jumped into the driver seat incase we needed to move the truck (which I did not). About 5-10 min. later a police officer parked behind me. He came towards me and saw an open beer bottle. To make a long story short. I was arrested for a DUI, but I was never pulled over or seen driving the vehicle. Can I still be found quilty of this? I was put in the county jail for 2 days because I refused to pay $750 for bail. Help me please.

Hello! Clearly the officer
rushed to judgment and had
no probable cause to arrest
you. A good Indiana lawyer
should be able to defend you
and get the charges thrown
out. But.... you definitely
need representation. I hope
my advice helps.
