Criminal Justice Student needs some Help
Well the night of my grandmothers funeral my cousins and I went out to hooters which was right by the hotel, about a mile or two, to get something to eat and have a few beers. I was driving, and recalling my past summer DUI I decided to keep in mind how much I was drinking, I was figuring one beer an hour couldn't hurt. Well we were there for about 8 -9 hours, basically until closing. So when we left I was pretty sure I was under the legal limit, much better then my cousins who were smashed. So we got into my car and we started to drive, well the ramp for our hotel was on the other side of the divider, so at the next light I banged the U turn. I guess there was a no u-turn sign there, i didn't see one, but behind me in a shopping center parking lot, I saw lights go on. So i quickly pulled into the Wawa parking lot and walked briskly away from my car before the officer could make it across the street and into the lot where my car now was. He came around the building in his cruiser but I slipped through a fence and disappeared. My reasoning for running was in honest fear. I was 90% sure that my BAC was below .08, seeing how peoples body process alcohol differently, i really didn't want to take the chance. So I ran like hell, my car was impounded and my cousins left to walk back to the hotel. Obviously I received citations in the mail, one for no license, one for no insurance, one for no registration and then for the illegal u-turn. I have the license, insurance and registration all covered, but my main question is can they get me for evading? When I go to court to fight these tickets, what happens if I admit I was there? How do i go about keeping myself out of more trouble. Any help you give would be appreciated, I'd get a lawyer but I can't afford one, so your kinda my last hope...
