A: Incorrect documentation and errors from Law Enforcement are unfortunately common. You may want to hire a lawyer on a very limited basis to do the investigation for you so you can be certain there is not a case against you. The SHOULD have provided you a bunch of paperwork when you were arrested, but then again they may not have. The local Public Defender may also be willing to assist you in getting to the bottom of things, if you ask nice.
