Its hard to say for sure. Sometimes they do not do a complete background check when arresting people. You reall should have an attorney who can make effort to resolve this case before its noticed by the prosecutor that a mistake has been made and amends it to a Second Offense charge. This happens more than you would think.

Give me a call. I do not charge for these calls.
