Pending public drunkeness, need advice...

I messed up and got charged for public drunkeness in Pennsylvania during a 34. After looking into it seems like it could've been a dui so I'm lucky already. The charge is pending awaiting trial and I'm hiring a lawyer to try and do anything to make it so the conviction I do get if I get one doesn't have alcohol associated with it. I realize now how stupid this all is and I've sworn to not drink unless I'm at home going forward.

I still have my current job, and I guess they don't know it happened. I applied to another job and got accepted before this happened. I was really hoping to start that job, but it seems like even though the charge is pending I should probably just keep my current job and fight the charge, rather than jump to the new company while it's pending, huh?

I guess I'm already assuming the smart choice is is keeping my current job for now, which suuuucks but better than not having a job. I guess I'm asking for a sanity check or any input on my situation?

 

At a truck stop...

 

I blacked out, was trying to go to bathroom presumably, and never found my way back to the truck. I guess someone called cops because I was found asleep near a trailer in the lot, on the ground. LOL.

Guess I'm just spooked about losing job and future opportunities over it. I was hoping to join this other job that pays way more, but I'm anxious about doing that while this charge is pending on me.

Realistically I think if I just stay silent to my current company it wouldn't be a problem...

 

What are my odds if I can fight it in court within the next 30 days?

 

Or I guess, how much time do I have? The charge is currently pending, will my company find out while I'm in trial over it? How long does it usually take for them to find something like this out?
