Denver, CO asked in Criminal Law, Civil Rights and Constitutional Law for Colorado

Q: I’m 23 I live in Colorado and have for two years. Can Georgia put Me in prison for interference with govt. property?

There was a dispute at a bar, I was severely intoxicated, detained and ended up with an interference with govt property charge. This happened before I moved to CO. I work at the airport and just lost my security clearance until there’s a disposition and have to go back to Georgia, which I can barely afford to do because I can’t work anymore with out my clearance. Can anyone please tell me what to do so I don’t lose everything and become a felon for the rest of my life. This was the first incident I’ve had.

A: If I understand you correctly, you were charged in Georgia. If that is the case, you should direct this question to attorney in Georgia. Colorado and Georgia law unlikely to be the same in your situation.
