I was recently arrested at a rest stop along a state highway while re-entering the vehichle. I was a passenger, we were followed by an off duty state highway patrol officer after throwing a bottle out of the window. We pulled off at the rest area, not knowing we were being followed, and were approached after getting back into the vehichle. The officer was extremely pushy and rude and insisted that I was intoxicated. We had no open containers but did have a cooler with four beers in it, which is legal for someone over 18. I refused a breathalizer and said I had drank 2 beers with my parents before we had left my house. The driver and I were both arrested, taken to jail, and given tickets for underage consumption. The driver tested a .042 and did not recieve a dui because we were parked and was released with no bail. I had to pay $1000.00 to get out. Should I have been given a ticket? There was no evidence of the bottle that was thrown out, or consumtion in the car.
