Alcohol Intoxication?I was charged with Alcohol Intoxication in Kentucky. I was on private property when the deputy confronted me and arrested me. I was just walking, I was barefoot but had hurt no one and no property. According the Kentucky Revised Statutes, from what I can tell, you have to be a threat to you, others, or you have to be a public nuisance. You also have to be on public property, or property that is supposed to be public. I was found after walking through miles of fields on private property and walked into the rear of a body shop's property. I think they had no legal right to arrest me and if pushed that I could get a jury trial where at least one member of the jury will find me not guilty. It's a prepayable misdemeanor with a $ 200 fine, but I don't want to have to pay it (no money). The circuit clerk has already talked to the judge and said they would file it away for a year, but that I'd have to do 10 hours community service. I don't feel as though this is fair and I don't have time, as I work a full time job, with work on the side and 3 kids and a wife as well. Is it worth taking to trial if need be?

You were drunk, bearfoot walking through a persons private property = trespassing creepily.

Do the community service. You have no case unless you can prove you were not intoxicated which you admit you were. Get yourself the help you need, if you can't see anything wrong with what you were doing than you have a severe alcohol problem.
