Incident happened in KY. My son had been drinking and was sitting on passenger side of car waiting for his friend who was sober to take him home. Another friend had taken the car keys, so they had to wait. In the meantime, Ky State policeman pulled up and started cursing and wanted to know where the trouble maker was at. The other guys out side said in the car. The policeman went to our car and jerked the car door opened and told him to get out. He asked him if he had been drinking and my son said yes. He called us and said he was taking him to jail and after 8 hours we could pick him up. He said if my son’s friend could drive our car home he wouldn’t have it towed. It was in Walmart parking lot. He did not read my son’s right nor no test to determine alcohol level. At the jail(drunk tank)he was not fingerprinted nor no mug shot. I picked him up the next day. He had a court hearing and pleaded guilty because he had been drinking but not driving and no alcohol in his possession. When the policeman came to the parking lot my son was not out of the car. My son has to pay a fine inlcuding court costs of 175.50. I have tried to call and see what the procedures should have been but no one can tell me. They even tried to keep 50.00 of his but he remembered them taking it and so I went back , the receptionist said they forgot to give it back. He said they didn’t take mug shot and fingerprint either. When I called the jail and they said yes they did. The county does not have website to check for the information. Was anything done wrong when he was taken to jail? I couldn’t understand why I couldn’t go pick him up but the police officer said he was going to teach him a lesson. Instead the police officer allowed other guys that were there drinking to drive. The police officer even told me that he knows what the guys are doing in the parking lot. This is now showing up on my son’s background check and is hurting him getting hired for a very good job. I can see if he was driving but he wasn’t. He was actually trying to be responsible and called a friend to come and get him. Is there anything we can do to take care of this? I’m not taking up for his actions but I feel this is very harsh.
