Fake Patty's Day is upon us in the Manhattan, Kansas and local business as well as local law enforcement is gearing up for for a crowd.
It is well known that alcohol will be consumed in vast quantities during Fake Patty's and with over consumption comes a host of problems, the least of which is may be a hangover and some regret.
Riley County Police Department typically beef up security in Aggieville and surrounding areas. If you are under age and consuming alcohol, your chances of getting a minor in possession or a minor in consumption is significantly higher on Fake Patty's Day.
Driving under the influence (DUI) charges in Manhattan, Kansas may also see an uptick in frequency during this raucous weekend.
Typically a DUI will land you in jail for the night or until someone can bond you out. MIP or MIC will usually result in a simple citation and a notice to appear or NTA at a certain date/time/courthouse in Manhattan.
For victims of DUI charges, there are important deadlines that need to be addressed and taken care of as soon as possible after receiving a DUI citation. An experienced DUI attorney in Manhattan, Kansas can assist you and will know what those deadlines are and how to address them.
If you find yourself with more than a just regret and a banging hangover on the day after your Fake Patty's Day, contact our office for a consultation.

Fake Patty's Day 2013
Tomorrow is the hallowed Fake Patty's Day celebration here in Manhattan, KS! While a boon to many bars in the Aggieville area, it's also an event that requires additional police presence and EMT workers. Part of the effort to keep Fake Patty's attendees safe is making a medical pavilion in the City Park just South of Aggieville.
If you intend to participate in Fake Patty's festivities and you want to stay out of both the medical pavilion and the custody of RCPD, here's a short list of dos and don'ts:
1. Don't take an open container out in public. This includes the sidewalk right outside your (or your friends) house. All sidewalks are public property. So are alleyways.
2. If you're a minor, don't take an open container (or closed container) of alcohol ANYWHERE. That's Minor in Possession (MIP).
3. Drink some water. Eat some food. Personally, I recommend Hunam Express or Aggie Station.
4. Don't take shots. (Seriously don't, though Jell-O shots hardly count, still watch their number)
5. Have a designated driver. Getting a DUI is costly and can change your life. On Fake Patty's 2013, Safe Ride will also be running during extended hours starting at Noon (12:00 p.m.) on Saturday and running until 3:00 a.m. on Sunday morning.
6. Finally, a bit of advice that is applicable always, if you must break the law, don't break two laws at once. If you want to know why, you'll have to pay me a visit.

Fake Patty's Day - March 9, 2013
Fake Patty's day is almost here and the City of Manhattan, KS has some things to mention for those partaking of the FPD 2013 celebration. One important item to be aware of is the safe ride program available all day for Fake Paddy's participants. Safe ride will run from Noon on Saturday till 3:00 a.m. Sunday morning. Getting a DUI in Kansas is expensive and can dramatically change your life for the worse.
The RCPD will also be out in force canvassing the area in and around Aggieville. This means underage drinkers should be careful. Even if you are not at a bar, the likelihood of getting a Minor in Possession (MIP) or Minor in Consumption (MIC) will be high. Those home owners/renters around the Aggieville area also should be careful. If a member of your party is an under age drinker you may be subject to a hosting ticket and fine which could be as much as $1,000.00.
So in short, try not to drink in excess this weekend and obey the law. Be careful out there, but if you do find yourself in trouble, contact a Manhattan, KS criminal defense attorney. We can help.

Fake Patty's Day Crime
During Fake Patty's Day, 2012 the Riley County Police Department (RCPD) made 90 arrests. In 2011 the RCPD responded to more then 766 calls. The trend for crime is down over the past three years during this unique Manhattan, KS event but it's still important to be careful during this all day bender.
This includes staying out of handcuffs as much avoiding cons by your fellow Fake Patty's Day attendee. After last year's Fake Patty's event the Manhattan law office was contacted by a young man who had received an Minor in Possession (MIP) during the Fake Patty's Day celebration. This individual was one of several in his group who was issued a similar citation. Unfortunately one of the members of this group claimed her father was an attorney and convinced many of them to give her the tickets and $100.00 and her father would be sure to take care of it.
Three months later, the client receives notice of drivers license suspension for failure to appear in Manhattan, KS Municipal Court for his MIP. Needless to say the MIP had not been taken care of and he was now in a much worse situation than before with just an MIP.
Luckily we were able to fix this Fake Patty's Day mishap and help our client obtain a satisfactory outcome, however, the person claiming to have the attorney father has never been identified so be wary of anyone who might claim the same.
