More details to this question:
I recently received a summons for open container in Brooklyn, NY. I had a foam cop with a lid on filled about half, and the remainder was in a can which was inside a brown paper bag. 2 officers stopped me and gave me 2 summons: 1 for the cup and 1 for the can. I wouldn't have a problem with this except for the fact that the summons have different times: 9:40 and 9:50pm. Since they were each written by a different officer, it looks as if I got a summons for drinking in public, then immediately got more alcohol and was caught again. I think that would look really bad on my record, and it's not what happened. One of the officers also wrote my middle name as my first name, and the wrong brand of alcohol. Is there any way I could fight this?

You can go to trial and testify what happened. As to the ticket with wrong name could argue that it is defective.
