  • Ashamed and now worrying

    Last night i did something really not proud of... me and my partner got really drunk at a party and i walked off on way home and landed up being brought home by police as it was late and was walking by side of main road (we live near one). My partner fell asleep, and when police buzzed the flat he didnt answer so they landed up taking me to my parents house (where i still spend time when working in office near thetmre house) as he had my phone and keys to our flat. They told my dad they couldnt find my partner (he is fine was just asleep but they must have thought wandering around like me) but worrying like mad they will call his family who live nearby abd they will kick off at him. We all don’t get on, so it would be a disaster. If they were going to contact his parents would they have done it by now? Also, will the police come back to my house and charge me with anythibg or would they hace done it at time?

    Not proud of what i did but scared now I might get charged with something or will get my partner into trouble with his parents. He is a vulnerable adult since a bad skiing accident left him with memory issues due to a brain injury.

    This is something I'm really ashamed of so pls don't lecture me, my anxiety is off scale and i could not be more upset with myself but if police were going to contact his family or i have committed a crime by being drunk and them having to bring me home they would have done it by now right?

    Must have been a good party

    Sec12 of the licencing act 1872 makes it an offence to be drunk in a highway or any public place.
    If you were disorderly as well as drunk the Criminal Justice Act 1967, Section 91, applies.

    As they took you home (to ensure your safety?) I assume you weren't incapable. (if you were incapable they would have taken you to hospital!)
    Presumably late at night & walking alone they would have had concerns for your wellbeing

    My wife and I were woken up around 3a.m. by the police many years ago, to be presented with an intoxicated adult daughter who had been found sleeping in a very large concrete planter in the local town square!
    The police thought it was funny, but I thought they should have left her there to sleep it off
    No further action was taken

      I think weather conditions has something to do with it.
      If it was minus temperatures and the weather has gradually
      deteriorated then plummeted, the police won't leave you out there.

        It sounds like the police actions were welfare concerns about you not investigation of it as a potential crime. If the police said nothing about you being reported for any potential offence then you can probably safely assume that they will.not be taking any further action and that's an end to it.
