On Saturday, March 13, 2010 i went to a bar with some friends whose band was scheduled to play that night. Around 10 PM myself and around 12 others were cited for Drinking in Public by two Fullerton police officers. At this time i had not been drinking, and was, however, cited.
As the night went on myself and the rest of the group began drinking. At around 2 AM i exited the bar to get some fresh air and was picked up for drunk in public. I was held for 6 hours and released the next morning.
I was wondering what to expect. Of my two citations i have a 647 (f) PC and a drinking in public, and was told by the officer i would be receiving information in the mail regarding either a pre-pay fine or a court date (there are court dates on both citations).
Now i have read the forums and perused around and have a general idea of the implications of both individually, however what might be the outcome of recieing both in the same night? Will there be 2 individual citations mailed of which i can pre-pay? or will i have to go to court for both on different days? or maybe will they compound the two, giving me a harsher sentence?
And to clarify, this is my first run in with the law, i have never even received a speeding ticket, let alone a citation for anything.
Thanks for any help, i should be receiving the mailer within the week, but i thought id give this forrum a try.
