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.

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!
