Recently (last Wednesday morning), I was detained for my supposed involvement in attempting to enter a window, or for opening a window to the back of someones house. At the time it happened (2:30am on wed) I was blacked out drunk. I was seen at the time and my car was also identified.
Apparently, according to the police the window was to the room of a 7 year old girl. What I was told was I opened the window and left.
The next day I woke up around 8 am extremely hungover and still a little drunk. I went outside to look for my car and saw I had a flat.
I took the car to a tire place. The tire place told me it would be 45-60 minutes. During the wait I took a walk and ended up walking by the street of the house that I had apparently gone to the previous night.
I turned there and took a look at the place as i walked by, because it looked familiar to me as I did have a slight recollection of going behind someones house (kind of a dreamlike memory).
While walking about, I was seen by one of the owners of the house and several neighbors because they were informed to look out for my identity. I went back to the tire shop and picked up my car. I drove back up that direction to test the tire. I drove past an elementary school and also past that place to really look again to feel out whether or not I had actually gone there and to try and understand why. I then drove back down towards my friends house who lives close by, which is past that same elementary school and went into his place to play a video game.
After playing a bit, I decided I was hungry and drove that same direction again to go downtown, which again took me back past the same elementary school up to a main street which brought me to downtown.
Apparently the school was informed to look for my car, which is quite distinctive, because the parents were worried about me being a threat. They contacted neighbors and the school.
As I got downtown, I parked and started walking to a place to eat. I looked back and saw a police motorcycle park next to my car.
As I walked closer to town, a police officer pulled over and asked my name. I gave it to them. He than proceeded to get out his car and two other cop cars arrived.
They questioned me as to where I was the night before. I lied and said I went straight home from my friends house, because in truth I had been drunk downtown and drove home (I didn't want a DUI, didn't realize I can't get on after the fact).
I was questioned without getting any information on their end as to why they were questioning me. I felt very nervous and didn't want to say anything that might wrongfully incriminate me so I minimized my answers.
As I was there they slowly started to reveal that their belief was that I was after this 7 year old girl! I denied at all being interested or aroused by children and also that I would never do anything to anyone to harm them.
They continued to question me and mentioned that the school saw my car circle the elementary school, which is a lie, I drove by it a few times. They mentioned that I was looking at the children play as I drove by, which is true but not because I was looking at them in a sexual way.
The really crazy part of all of this is that I have been driving around the city a lot lately as I am having relationship problems with my gf (driving calms me down a bit and I get better connection with my phone away from home). My gf is actually seeing someone else who is abusive and I am trying to get her out of it. I have no way of contacting her personally (other than at work but she requests I don't call her there) as we don't want to let the other man know of my presence so she calls me.
So this is where things get really tricky. The night before I supposedly opened the window of this house, I had been on that street the girl lives on before or a cross street at around 6:30pm and had seen the kid playing on the street. I had pulled over to get a phone call and also to get some papers out of my glove compartment box from work. I talked briefly with my girlfriend she hung up and then I saw the girl on her scooter go by. She smiled and I waved and I smiled back. I then looked at my work papers and was sitting there on the corner near where she was playing. When she came by on her scooter, I looked at her just because it was enjoyable to me and not in a sexual way. She did give me a look as if she was worried I was looking at her, so I left not wanting anyone to think I was being looking at her in a sexual way. Apparently, according to the cops, she was scared enough by me looking at her play that she told her mom that some guy was starting at her. The mom looked out of the house and saw my car leaving. (this all occurred the night before my (supposed attempted burglary).
Now another time (the monday before), I apparently was witnessed by a neighbor and that I had parked on the same st. This st. is right off a main street I frequently drive. I pull over while driving mostly to receive a phone call from my gf which she calls quite often. I don't recall the street at the time and I don't remember seeing any girl or neighbor, i was just there to talk to my gf.
To me, especially when talking with them, it all seems very much so like I was scoping the area and the girl and that I had gone to enter the room of the girl in the middle of the night.
The problem I'm facing, is that this is not true and I have no recollection as to why I went back to that place and as to why I decided to open up a window (if I actually did). How would I even know it was her room? And in reality, nothing actually happened other that me trespassing and opening a window to a house and then leaving. (If that can actually be proven) But my question is since this all looks suspicious can I actually get charged with attempted burglary in regards to entering to molest or kidnap this girl? Or is there not enough evidence. I really understand it looks strange, but I truly would never do anything to a little girl and do not fantasize it either. Please help. I want some confidence that when I have my arraignment I'm not going to registered as a sex offender because of coincidence. I realize I have a problem with drinking and have started to go to AA meetings, but I feel this whole situation is getting blown out of proportion. Please let me know what you believe is at stake here.
Also.. I did later mention the truth about going downtown and driving home and blacking out, but told them I had no recollection of driving home or the incident.
