I was arrested for a public order ofence a week after the alleged incident. A officer stated that he recognised me from previous dealings and that in his statement I was drunk and gobbing off etc. I denied the incident as it honestly didnt occur and they then charged me with Drunk and Disorderly??? I am awaiting court, surely this cant be right????

- what evidence do they have? Just one PC?
- do you have an alibi? Someone you were with, or somewhere you were?
Here's another thread on the subject:

Pay attention to what Kermit says as he works in the legal profession.
What seems a bit dodgy to me, is that a week later he charges you with drunk and disorderly. That's just being noisy / drunk. Why would he remember, why did he not charge you at the time?
There seems to be a lot of holes on the police side but then again, the law is very much in their favour. It may come down as kermit said in the other thread to your word against his. Were you going out and drinking that night? Or was it just completely spurious accusation?

I'm not a legal person at all, just giving my opinion, and would advise you to get some legal advice. Did he say it was a fixed penalty but then you refused it? Anyway:
