In May of 2007 I was accused of providing alcohol to a 20 and a 19 year old. I was never brought up on charges. Well now as of July 2010 I was talked to by a Chief of Police just yesterday and said that 20 year old (now 23) had got in trouble and the May 2007 incident got brought up and now she says that I told her to tell the investigating officer to tell him that I didnt provide the alcohol. Now she says I was the one that provided the alcohol. Now the Chief of Police is submitting charges to the prosecutor and stated I Obstructed Justice which he said is a felony of the fifth degree. How can I now be charged with a felony when the initial charge of providing alcohol to minors is a misdemeanor? I havent been charged yet he said that the charged are being sent to the prosecutor to be reviewed. He siad the charges may or may not go anywhere.
