In Texas is a class c misdemeanor and not really a big issue, but I wasn’t drunk at all.  I am a diabetic and was having a really low blood sugar and it’s kind of like being drunk.  The cops that arrested me never did a field sobriety test nor a breathalyzer, they just cuffed me and took me to the county lock up where I stayed for over 24 hours before they cut me loose outside 0f the county jail and told me good luck getting home.  Is this something based on that I can get out of this and get it off my record?  I’ve gone 50 years without getting locked up before this and would like my record to be clean.

Edit:  so people stop asking if I was drunk.  I wasn’t and I had not drank.

Did they feed you? How’s the low BG resolve itself?

Did you *ask* for a blood test?

Blood sugar doesn’t go from low to high on its own, usually

Yes they fed me but only took my blood sugar after about a hour after.  I even told them I was having an issue during the initial intake, they looked at ,me like I had a 3rd eye in my head and basically ignored me, it wasn’t until I mentioned to one of the guards I was having a issue.  They promptly brought me something to eat and only after an hour did their “medic” test me.  I have a meeting with the town da in early October.  I just want this to go away.

Holy liability if they didn't have you with medically cleared before locking you up.

I can't tell you how many times I had been called to treat and transport a arrestee t9 get medically cleared before being incarcerated.

No, I wasn’t bad enough at the time, just not right.  I guess the cop saved me from driving and something worse happening, but he was a complete jerk and didn’t even test me for being drunk.  Just cuffed me and took me to jail.

Stop talking to the cops.  Talk to a defense lawyer.  
No FST. No breath, blood, or urine?  Food given before your BGL went up and you felt better?


Slam dunk, you just need to put the ball in the right hands.  Not yours.


Lifelong consequences here if you fuck it up.  Get a lawyer.

Yes.  Cops just randomly walk around and arrest people all the time.  I’ve seen it on the internets.

No, I was coming out of a movie and they saw me walking “walbley”, just said “sir we believe you are intoxicated and you are under arrest”. Then they said don’t resist which I wasn’t and they cuffed me and not so gently put me in the back of a car.  Hing cuffs are the worst.

Get a lawyer immediately, he will get videos from the theater, your credit card history from that night showing you purchased only popcorn and such, the body cam footage of you saying you were having a low, your medical history, etc.

Do it quickly, private businesses erase their videos on very short schedules.
