More details to this question:
The other night I had a few drinks and after a few hours I decided to walk to the gas station a few blocks away to buy cigarettes and maybe finish sobering up if I was already. It was around 1am and had been lightly snowing. Halfway to the gas station I was pulled aside by an officer and questioned about why I was out. I told him I had been drinking earlier and why I was walking to the gas station. After searching me and taking the stun gun I had on me, he put me in hand cuffs and let me in the passenger seat while he checked for warrants. It came up clear and he wrote me up for public intoxication and took me home. What should I say when I go into court and should I try to get acquitted?

You need to hire an attorney to represent you in that case. If you were cited for PI, but not booked into the jail, your attorney may be able to get the charges dismissed. You can also go to court and ask for deferred probation. But, I think, based on what you've written here, the proper disposition would be a dismissal. Once the charge is dismissed you would be eligible to have it expunged.
