or the judge will say "you need an attorney, show up with one, if not, here is one for you... public defender." A lot of times the judge knows you should have an attorney and will make decisions for you. But sometimes not.

being too loaded to remember means squat in court. Been there, done that. All it did is cause me to take an alcohol class that wasted my time, money, and was in there with the dregs of society. Did learn a lesson though.
She may be really screwed. On of the charges is Obstructing government operations.
18-8-102. Obstructing government operations.
(1) A person commits obstructing government operations if he intentionally obstructs, impairs, or hinders the
performance of a governmental function by a public servant, by using or threatening to use violence, force, or physical
interference or obstacle.
(2) It shall be an affirmative defense that:
(a) The obstruction, impairment, or hindrance was of unlawful action by a public servant; or
(b) The obstruction, impairment, or hindrance was of the making of an arrest; or
(c) The obstruction, impairment, or hindrance of a governmental function was by lawful activities in connection with a
labor dispute with the government.
(3) Obstructing government operations is a class 3 misdemeanor.
Looks like the resisting arrest is more serious.
Or it could be something as simple as one of her friends was being arrested for something and she tried to interfere with it and then she was told she was also being arrested and she didn't go quietly into the night. Dealing with drunks gets old fast for a cop.
Both are misdemeanors and alcohol related. The DA will most likely provide a plea bargain that requires some sort of alcohol awareness class, as colorider mentioned, some community service, some probation and some fines. Life goes on.

That is Honor, and there are way too many people in this country who no longer understand it.
Nope just found out she kicked a cop. lol
Excellent character.
Does that make this a "cop bashing" thread?
If she did it, or it is more likely than not, the cheapest option is take the best deal she can get from the DA, which will be the first deal they offer. Sometimes when the victim is not a cop you can stretch the proceedings out long enough that the victim is no longer willing to take time off for yet one more court appearance. Once the victim goes south, the prosecutor will drop the charges and it all goes away. Cops make great victims for prosecutors. Not only do they get paid to show up, often they are making time and a half to be there.
I hope it works out for you. The wheels of justice are slow, but the grind everything in their path.
