Get a good lawyer, ask him what to do. \n\nI had several friend talk about how having a lawyer makes all the difference or how knowing how to act in court makes all the difference. If you have a clean record, many times how well things work out depends on how you act and what you say in court.

If he is noticeably intoxicated, yes. Probably neighbors called the police.

Depending on what the first one was meaning the charge.  It could be dropped to a wreckless Operation charge if the first one wasnt.  Other than that, you will probably spend some time, pay a fine and enter into some type of drug and alcohol counseling.  GET A GOOD ATTORNEY!

I would think that if you were driving it on a public street, road, highway, or even a public sidewalk you could be charged with operating a motor vehicle while under the influence of alcohol. Probably not if you were on private property such as your own driveway, or yard. You would have to check with  your local police or sherrif or state highway patrol for details of your areas laws on the matter.

If it were anything other than an accident (speeding, under the influence, you drove into a brick wall on purpose, etc) the chances are very good that you would be charged.  The exact charges would depend on the circumstances.\n\nAre you planning something?

Actually it could mean one of two things.  Either the person was originally charged with disorderly conduct and then the charge was changed to Domestic Abuse which is a more serious charge or it could mean that it was lowered to Disorderly Conduct.  The best thing to do would be to call the clerk at the Court and ask her what the final charge would be on this person.

Not always.  If it's a minor infraction like a speeding ticket, then stuff like miranda doesn't really enter in explicitly.\n\nIf, however, you're talking about a real criminal charge where they haul you off to jail, then yes, you should be read your rights and placed under arrest.

Nothing happens.  If they ever wanted to go after you for contempt, they would have to prove you got the summons.

He will have a bail hearing.\n\nThey you can bail him out until the trial.\n\nI recommend you call a lawyer now.

Generally DUI's come with a fine and up to 6 months in jail. If you can pay the fines which are usually $1000-10000 depending on the state then no jail time. Your license will get suspended (hopefully) since you were driving drunk and could have killed someone. I hope they lock you up!

It differs from state to state. But you will probably be fined and the establishment may be fined also, have their liquor license revoked, or be shut down.

Unless you were notified you do not have to show up.  Once sharges have been filed it is out of your hands.  The state in which you live is the one pressing charges. So, unless your testimoney is crucial to their case you do not have to go.

Of course you will be responsible! If you will be drinking, you will not be in a position to prove to the authorities that you did not serve the alcohol to the minors while being drunk. In case if something happens to a minor during the party, or after the party as a consequence of drinking (for example: accident, injury, rape), you, as an adult, will be held responsible guaranteed!There is no question about it.

Normally they are arrested and will see a judge, it is called an initial appearance.  The judge advise the defendant (accused person) of the charge.\n\nDepending on prior history, a defendant might be release to return to court later.  If the defendant has a history of not showing up to court (fail to appear), then the judge will likely have a bond amount set.  Your family/friend will have to post the bond for you to leave jail or you stay in jail until the case is completed.\n\nThe next event is the arraignment.  The defendant is required to enter a plea (guilty, not guilty/responsible, no contest).  If you are entering a not guilty plea, then it is set for a pre-trial conference.\n\nDuring the pre-trial conference, the prosecutor will offer a plea deal.  If rejected, then you will be set for trial.\n\nDuring the trial, if you are found guilty, you will get sentence at that time or a later date.
