Public intoxication and Illinois law

In the state of Illinois, public intoxication itself may not always lead to an arrest. Oftentimes, accompanying behavior is a requirement for arrest. These actions can include:

  • Assault
  • Drunk driving
  • Public indecency
  • Underage drinking
  • Disorderly conduct
Having an open alcoholic beverage in a motor vehicle can also lead to an arrest. The penalties of these charges can vary depending on the circumstances. A DUI defense lawyer will help you understand the charges you're facing and work with you to create your defense. Call 618-503-9105 today if you need a criminal defense lawyer.
