    Public Urination in Maryland
    My question involves criminal law for the state of: maryland
    I just received my order to appear in court for a citation for urinating in public. me and a few friends went out on new years eve to celebrate and to avoid drinking and driving we took a cab. when the bars closed they told everyone to leave. we attempted to call a cab but the cab companies we called said it would be over an hour for cab service. so we started to walk. on the way back to the hotel, I had to urinate so bad it was beginning to become painful and it was either find a place or mess myself. I did my best to be discreet as to not be a public nuissance and slipped into an alley and peed. I am leaving for deployment in less than two months and would like to get this resolved. im afraid of this misdemeanor going on my record because I plan on applying to medical school after I return from afghanistan. any recommendations on if I should contact the court and what I should do during the court date will be appreciated. I have nothing on my criminal record so this is all new to me. thanks

    I suggest talking to the prosecutor, or (better) having a lawyer do so, about resolving the charge before your deployment.

    I'm attempting to contact them today about it. For some reason they seem pretty reluctant to allow me to contact them. Anything I should ask for when I speak with the prosecutor. Ask for anything or just explain the situation? Thanks
