Fillmore, CA Criminal Defense Law Firms & Lawyers

Held as in arrested? Yes. Could thy also be enough to get them charged? Potentially, yes. Enough to get past preliminary hearing? Could be. Enough for trial? That depends - it depends on the rest of the evidence.

Whether you can be successfully prosecuted is the real question. People are prosecuted every day when they have not in fact committed a crime, and they retain an experienced criminal or DUI defense firm to help them so they can hopefully have the charges dropped. In your case it will depend if the DA has any circumstantial evidence that you were driving on public property at anytime. Where you were arrested is not as important as WHY the officer arrested you? What observations did the officer make of your driving? Did you do a field sobriety test? Did you take a blood alcohol test? Those are the critical questions. The fact that you have a "no trespassing sign" on your property does NOT stop police from entering if they believe that you have committed a criminal offense in most circumstances. Your case is an interesting one and you should immediately contact a DUI defense firm or go to wklawdui.com for more information.
