If I went to jail for a DUI and they found a fake ID in my wallet, will I still get charged?

More details to this question:
I got caught for a DUI and when the cops took me in they went through my wallet and found my Fake ID. They asked me for my real date of birth and then they told me that the ID was going to be shredded along side with my real ID and when receiving my ticket it didn't say anything about the ID. Does that mean I am in the clearing?

I don't believe in Michigan having mere "possession" of a fake id is necessarily going to be charged. It is presenting it as being genuine that will get you into trouble.

They can charge you with having a fake ID if they want to. It will be up to them and the prosecutor.

Probably. I have represented a few people and their fake id's got taken away and nothing was ever said about it again. If they are going to charge you, you will know when you receive the police report or get something in the mail regarding a new charge.

Hard to say, when you get arrn'd you'll know what the charges are they may be requesting warrant from prosecutor or just let it go since they did catch you in the act using it.
