    Default Identification Error on Citation

    My question involves criminal law for the state of: NC

    I was given a citation for possesion of alcohol in Raleigh a week ago. I had beer in my back pack and an ALE officer pulled me aside and wrote down the citation. However, he didn't write down my last name; only included first and middle. I was wondering if this meant anything, and how much you think it would cost (lawyer, court, etc.).

    I should think it would mean that he erred. Now how is the court to know that he meant to cite you?

    Attorney fees vary. Call around in your area - and you should consult an attorney in any case. First visit is usually free, and they typically discuss fees at that time.

    He did this based upon ID you provided, or your oral representation of your name? Your address is correct on the citation? When did you first notice the error?
