    Default Disorderly Conduct Charge During a Drunken Blackout

    My question involves criminal law for the state of: Pennsylvania

    So I was recently at a party at a college in Philadelphia and I blacked/browned out. I remember drinking, then I have two vivid flashes of memory which was being handcuffed inside a vehicle then in a hospital bed. I woke up the next morning in a hospital bed. I called the police department and they told me that I had a disorderly conduct charge against me and I'm not sure if it was a summary charge or a misdemeanor. From accounts that my friends told me, the cops had come in to bust a party and I was belligerently drunk and trying to fight a friend and then I was yelling at the cops or something. How do I even approach this case? I don't know what actually happened. (I'm also 20 years old so underage). I would like some advice on how to approach this before I call a lawyer.

    the only advice you need is:

    don't talk to anybody about this and call a lawyer. There is nothing else to approach before calling the lawyer.

    Are you still drunk? What does this post have to do with drunk driving?

    Get a copy of the police report and see what it says about your conduct. That may be easier after you have a lawyer.

    Any lawyer you consult would also benefit from knowing if you are, in fact, charged with a summary offense or a misdemeanor.
