My question involves criminal law for the state of: Michigan. Genesee County.

Okay, so I was arrested several months ago on several counts, including Assaulting/Resisting/Obstructing:A Police Officer, Alcohol-Purchase/Consumption/Possession By a Minor, and a Curfew Violation

Here's how everything went down.

Me and my friend Bob, who are both under the age to buy, or consume alcohol found a pint of Whiskey, and drank the contents of the bottle. We decided to go for a walk in the middle of the night, say 2:00. We walked down town and on our way home a cop stopped on the side of the road, and preceded to shine his spot light into our eyes. Us, being dumb decided to run, we took off but he chased us in his car, and quickly caught us and cut us off. Being a smoker I stopped before the officer was out of his car I was getting on the ground, to be put in cuffs. I was on my hands and knees on a small slab of concrete, getting onto my stomach, and I was tackled by the police officer, and put into cuff, and put into the police car. I was breathalyzed in the car, but was never told my results My friend was hiding, and was apprehended soon after.

Now my friend, on his court papers recived the following offences: Resisting Arrest, Alcohol-Purchase/Consumption, and a Curfew Violation.


I want to know why I would get charged with Possession of alcohol, and also be be charged with Assaulting, Resisting, and Obstructing an officer, when I was getting on the ground, to give up.

Any help would be appreciated very much/
