My question involves criminal law for the state of: Ohio
I had two beers with me while fishing at a state park. The trooper gave me a ticket with the following charge , 1501:41-3-22 Intoxicating Beverages .
He explained to me that this was a minor misdemeanor , like a traffic ticket, and that if i plead guilty i don't have to show up to court. I could just pay the fine.
I went to court and they said this was a misdemeanor three charge and they would not accept payment and that I have to show up in court.
I can't find any proof either way. Can anyone show me any proof so that when i go to court I can show this charge is a minor misdemeanor or am I really in trouble for two beers?
Thanks in advance, Exin.
