You will want an attorney to navigate the... View More

I was pulled over for minor traffic offenses and charged with a ovi. It happened in a town with multiple countys. The cop put the wrong county on my ticket and then the mayors court judge asked me what county it was in so I said what's on the ticket, knowing it was definitely the other county.
answered on Nov 11, 2023
Retain an attorney and have them try to have it dismissed. They have to prove you were in the County on the ticket when you received the DUI. They are not able to if you are correct.
Good luck!

In Ohio, taking merchandise from a store without paying can be classified as petty theft, which is often a misdemeanor if the value is under $1,000. The fact that the... View More
