Though you were not transported to jail, a CRA or Notice to Appear serves as a technical arrest on a misdemeanor charge. If you possessed a valid driver’s license and had no significant prior record, an officer can give you the benefit of a CRA or Notice to Appear which essentially releases you on your own recognizance. You must still address the charge and appear in court for your arraignment. Tison Law Group can assist you in your defense of this charge. With over 25 years of experience and our work as former State Attorneys, we can guide you through the legal system and lead the defense of your charge.
