Indiana: Client charged with public intoxication while sitting in his vehicle – CASE DISMISSED
Our client was out drinking with some friends and business associates. He walked into a bar in a shopping mall, but the bartender told him he was already drunk, thus refusing to serve him and asking him to leave. Our client cooperated, left the bar, and went outside to call his girlfriend to come pick him up. Our client walked to his car to wait for his girlfriend, where he fell asleep with his keys in his lap. Apparently, the bartender that asked out client to leave called the Police, and officers found our client asleep inside of his vehicle. Police woke him up, and then proceeded to charge him with Public Intoxication. Our attorney was able to argue that our client was waiting for his girlfriend to pick him up in the privacy of his own car, and the case against out client was dismissed.
