I was charged with 2 counts of obstruction of governmental administration. I witnessed a fight and walked away when officers told me to stop. I was handcuffed while they were asking others questions. While I was handcuffed I expressed that me being in handcuffs was not right and that I was not involved in the fight and was only yelling at the people involved to stop fighting. After questioning everyone in the fight (no one pressed charges everyone walked away free) the officers asked me my name and I refused, so they kept me overnight. I also refused to get booked while I was there because I did not feel I was rightfully arrested. I refused a breathalyzer as well. I agreed to be booked in the morning so I could go home. Is my best option to ask for an adjournment in contemplation of dismissal? I do not have anything on my record and have never been in trouble with the law. I don't want this to drag out.
