Question

Hi I Received A Citation In 2013 For Public Drunkenness The Case Is Closed Is That Consided A Criminal Case And If So Does It Give Me A Record And If So For How Long? I Was Not Arrested Or Jailed Just Fined.

Answer

Hi, My name is Andrea and I am a Pennsylvania Licensed Attorney.. The areas in which I practice are Criminal Law, Real Property Law, and Family Law.

In Answer to your question, "Public Drunkenness is considered a "summary offense" under 18 Pa. C.S. Section 5505 and does not give you a "criminal record". I hope that this has put your mind at ease.

Kindest regards,

ANDREA
