[h=1]Drunk in charge of a vehicle.?[/h]On friday night I was at my girlfriends house and drinking. At around two in the morning I looked out of the window and saw a man looking inside my car. I went to the car and confronted him. The guy shouted something I did not comprehend and tried to punch me which I dodged. I looked inside the car and could see that my Xbox was in the passenger seat. So I got inside the car and sat in driver seat locked up and called 999. At this point the man banged the window. So i got out and tried to avoid any physical confrontation and just dodged him again as he tried to grab me. Because of the exertion I felt sick and vomited. I ran across the road and called 999 again for help. When the police arrived the man accused that I tried to explain to them what had happened and they then took a statement from the guy who said I was driving and had hit his car. The police arrested me, I protested and told them to take pictures and secure my car as by this time I had realized that I was at a disadvantage because I was drinking. They did not breathalyse me which I requested and also did not breathalysed this man. They did not record my statement and just took me to a police station and then had my blood tested at 9 in the morning. They are saying that they are awaiting the result of my blood test and may charge me for being drunk and incharge of a vehicle. I am scared and dont know what should I do. When I returned after my release to the car I noticed that the police did not even bother to secure my car and the x box was still in the seat. I took pictures and in one photo you can clearly see that the car was clearly sitting there for a long time more than a night as the leaves from the tree and bird excrement were over the car. I dont know whether I should defend myself or plead guilty and provide mitigation. Can someone help me out.
